    Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are perfect any time of the year!

    These Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes only require 5 ingredients, that’s it! We love the taste of sweet potatoes and this version is simple and delicious.

    Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes only require 5 ingredients; butter, brown sugar, milk, mini marshmallows, and of course, sweet potatoes. Traditional and delicious!

    One of our favorite Thanksgiving dishes is sweet potatoes with butter, brown sugar, and miniature marshmallows on top. I have never used a recipe, I just through it all in a casserole dish and it always turns out great.

    Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes only require 5 ingredients; butter, brown sugar, milk, mini marshmallows, and of course, sweet potatoes. Traditional and delicious!

    We always make enough for everyone to have a serving, plus enough so that we have leftovers. That is how I make every dish for Thanksgiving Dinner, enough for 8-10 people with enough to have leftovers to eat most of the weekend.

    When I saw that Sunday Supper this week would be holiday side dishes, I thought about making those sweet potatoes.

    Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes only require 5 ingredients; butter, brown sugar, milk, mini marshmallows, and of course, sweet potatoes. Traditional and delicious!

    Then I decided to make my Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes, because this recipe is easier to modify to fit the number of servings someone might want.

    Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes only require 5 ingredients; butter, brown sugar, milk, mini marshmallows, and of course, sweet potatoes. Traditional and delicious!

    You could easily make two servings, if you are only feeding a couple of people, and these would be great any night of the week!

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 375°.
    • Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce several times with a fork.
    • Place on a sheet pan, bake for 60-75 minutes or until tender. Let cool enough to handle.
    • Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out insides into a large bowl, taking care not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim intact for support.
    • Mash sweet potato, butter, brown sugar, and milk until well combined.
    • Divide filling between shells. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Remove and top with miniature marshmallows. Place under broiler until brown, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully so the marshmallows don't melt too much.

      Hey Mindy!

      I’m super happy your husband reached out to me and showed me your blog. 🙂

      First I have to say, you have some amazing recipes here. Also, like you say, you make your dishes with easily accessible, every day ingredients.

      Secondly, these twice baked potatoes look like an absolute treat. I am definitely going to try these out!

      Great recipes and blog Mindy!

      We’ve only twice baked sweet pots once, with citrus, maple and pork sausage… This sounds a lot more like typical Thanksgiving flavors! We’ll have to try it, thanks!

      Oh, yes, please! We always had Japanese sweet potatoes with marshmallows from the US. But I love how you’ve made the dish so manageable and into individual portions =)
