This is the traditional 'better than Boston Market®' recipe for mashed sweet potatoes. Easy to make and tastes great! If you're looking for the best recipe for this traditional holiday favorite, look no further.
This was ok. For my personal preference not enough spice and could use more sugar. You mainly taste the sweet potato. * I reduced the recipe size to 2 servings*

I used 1/2 c brown sugar and did 2x the amounts for the seasonings and it turned out really well- perfect sweetness.
Needed to add quite a bit more sugar. But I like them sweet :) After that, it's great!
The two-step cooking process made for an easy mash. I also added about 1/3 tsp of nutmeg, upped the sugar, and added about 1 T of butter and about 1/4 C of heavy cream to sweeten the dish.
I baked the potatoes in the oven for 1 1/2 hours till done. Afterwards I let them cool and then cut them in half the long way. I scooped out the potatoes added the spices and placed the mixture back into the potato skins. Placed some marshmallows on top. A lot of compliments on the presentation.
Simple and simply delicious! I use canned Yams and whip all the ingredients (except marshmallows) with an electric mixer. This is always a crowd pleaser! And yes, this is understated in its sweetness (which is more than made up for in the very sweet marshmallow topping) and its spices, but it allows the fantastic flavor of the sweet potatoes to really shine. You cannot go wrong with this recipe - it is simply delicious!!
I loved this recipe and my family did as well. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and I will definitely make this again!
I stirred the marshmallows in after they were melted, and I added a touch of nutmeg!
Not my favorite recipe. So sweet and peeling and dicing sweet potatoes is no easy task.
It was definitely a crowd pleaser!! I wasn’t going to celebrate Thanksgiving because my kids were not going to be with me, but then I decided to make an early celebration on Tuesday, that’s why I wanted a quick and easy recipe... well everything was amazing!! Thank you for sharing our thanksgiving was great!!

Everyone loved this for Thanksgiving! I will definitely be making it again!
Add a little milk and mashed with a blender. Potatoes were very creamy and it was a hit with even the kids!
I assumed this was a vegan recipe. It is a good base for making a sweet potato pie or sweet potato casserole. I doubled all the ingredients except for the sweet potatoes and marshmallows, and added some unsalted butter. After eating this, I did wish I made a pie or casserole instead.
I made this, but instead of using more brown sugar like everyone suggested, I used maple syrup and caramel sauce.
It turned out wonderful! Everyone enjoyed it! Glad I made two casseroles and not just one!!!
It was delicious. I do admit to one substitution(Brown sugar splenda instead of brown sugar) but it turned out great. Everyone seemed to love it as I had barely 2 helpings left over.
I love this resipe, however I did make with 1/4 cup brown sugar added 1/4 tablespoon of nutmeg and I sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon on the top of the marshmallows. I also made it last year and it was a hit then too.
It was really good! :) I used heaping amounts of the spices and sugar! We only had big marshmallows so I cut them in half. The end result was great. Happy Thanksgiving!
I have made this for years and ?? Love it If I ever came to Thanksgiving without this I’d be asking for forgiveness cause everyone would be mad at me ??
I attempted this recipe for Thanksgiving... I am a sweet potato lover and will eat most sweet potatoes even if they arent the greatest. This recipe would have likely been amazing with the sugar bumped up and everything else the same but of course once I started to actually make it everything went wrong for me. Half of the sweet potatoes I had had to be thrown away because they rotted extremely fast... I ended up having to use canned and didn't have much time to dry them out before adding marshmallows. I forgot the allspice and didn't know of a similar alternative. I couldn't find the potato masher I just had in my cabinet a few days prior so I had to use a fork and a lot of elbow grease. Am I the only one that has HORRIBLE luck with recipes... sometimes when it counts the most? None of my family would eat it including me. It got thrown out. I would have given it one star but it wasnt because of this specific recipe so I didn't.
My first time to make this! Y friend came for dinner and said "looks and tastes better than Boston Market! " I guess that's a yes! One thing I changed out of necessity was I had no brown sugar so I had to use light brown sugar instead...
I make this most as is (added 1T of butter and a splash of heavy cream) and love it. As to peeling the potatoes, if you boil them whole, skin on, long enough, when you take them out the skin literally slides off. I pat them dry just to get excess water off and mash them with a fork at that point. So easy. Thanks!
I reduced the sugar, as I do for most recipes. The results was great. My granddaughters thought it was amazing.
This was a good recipe. I did have to add a little bit more sugar. Other than that, it turned out great
It's actually very easy to make and is very tasty ! I will be making it again for sure.
