Boil the sweet potatoes for about 40 to 50 minutes.
Once very soft, allow them to cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel cooled sweet potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into large slices for ease of mashing/blending.
In a large bowl, place sliced sweet potatoes and ALL ingredients EXCEPT the marshmallows.
Use an electric mixer to blend thoroughly.
Spoon the mixture into a prepared 9x13 casserole dish and bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove from oven.
Cover the top of the casserole with the marshmallows.
Turn the oven up to 400 degrees F. Allow to heat to 400.
Return the sweet potato casserole to the oven and bake at 400 degrees for about 5-10 minutes or until marshmallows are golden and browning on top.
Serve hot.
