Luxury Sweet Potato Casserole

(Microwave Recipe)

Delicious Side Dish

The well-known sweet potato casserole has its origin in America. Now, during a time of thanksgiving or just about any other time of the year, this is a fantastic recipe to have ready. I call it my Luxury Sweet Potato Casserole, as I add a little bit extra of my favorite stuff. Just try it…

At the ‘end of the month’ I leave out the pineapple and walnuts, mix in a little bit of syrup, and it still tastes great.

Peal and slice the potatoes.
Arrange in microwave oven dish and microwave on high until tender. (8 to 10 min.)
Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup margarine and salt.
Mash until no lumps remain and mix in the pineapple.
Microwave on HIGH (100%) for about 2 minutes, stir and set aside.
Place 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp margarine, the water, cinnamon and nutmeg in a separate bowl and microwave on HIGH (100%) until the margarine melted. (stirring a few times)
Add some of the marshmallows and mix.
Top the sweet potato mixture with the remaining marshmallows (enough to cover) and Microwave at HIGH (100%) until the marshmallows are melted and the sweet potatoes are heated through (about 4 minutes).
Sprinkle with walnuts (chopped finely or whole – just as you love them) and serve hot.

MY TIPS for a fabulous sweet potato casserole:

I love using the orange fleshed sweet potatoes, but you can use any type of sweet potato or yams.
Mini marshmallows works just as well.
I use a lot of walnuts – just love them.

Enjoy...
