Granny's Holiday Sweet Potatoes
My husband always wants his Granny's Sweet Potatoes on Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, there was no recipe for it as she never used them. After a few years of brainstorming with him and his family, this recipe was the result. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel and cut up sweet potatoes into 2-3 inch chunks (much like you would when making mashed potatoes). I usually slice them every 2-3 inches and then quarter each slice. Uniformity isn't necessary, as they'll break down a bit while cooking.
- 2
Throw the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Add the butter.
- 3
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat for about 20-30 minutes (time depends on size of chunks). They are done when you can easily stick a fork through them. Don't overcook.
- 4
Drain about 3/4 of the water from your pot and return to stove. Add all ingredients except for the mini marshmallows.
- 5
Stir until mixed well. Turn heat down to low. If it seems like enough water wasn't drained and is a bit runny, add some more peanut butter to help thicken it (you may also want to add a little more maple syrup to taste). Add mini marshmallows (enough to cover...I only use about halfe the bag), cover, and turn off heat after a few minutes.
- 6
Once marshmallows have melted a bit, they are ready to serve. Enjoy!

We went to Sebring yesterday to run errands and we stopped at a little roadside produce market. That is one thing I absolutely love about Florida. Fresh on demand. He had the prettiest little sweet potatoes, straight out of the ground. Today, I roasted chicken and baked the sweet potatoes. This is almost nothing but heavenly and there’s never leftovers.
