Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Layer them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until smooth and slightly bubbling.
  4. Pour the brown sugar sauce evenly over the layered sweet potatoes, ensuring every slice is generously coated.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. If including mini marshmallows, sprinkle them on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  8. Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh herbs, if desired.
