How to Make Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes With Mini Marshmallows

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place 4 medium sweet potatoes directly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise.
  7. Using a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a ¼-inch border to support the skin. Place the scooped flesh into a blender.
  8. Add ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the blender.
  9. Blend until smooth.
  10. With the blender running, gradually add ½ cup whole milk and ¼ cup heavy cream through the feed tube.
  11. Stop the blender, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  12. Spoon the sweet potato mixture back into the potato skins.
  13. Top each potato with 1 tablespoon of mini marshmallows.
  14. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are heated through and the marshmallows are golden brown.
