Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallow Drizzle and Pecans. This is my little twist on a Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe. A simple and unbelievably delicious Thanksgiving side dish!
I decided to do a riff on mashed potatoes and gravy with the flavors of Sweet Potato Casserole. What do you get when you combine those two dishes? Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallow Gravy, of course!
Believe me, this Thanksgiving dish will be a hit. It tastes so good that I may have eaten half a batch by myself. Don’t judge until you taste for yourself! Switch out your usual Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe for this version.
I can’t wait for Thanksgiving. We do a small gathering at my house with lots of appetizers {my favorite} and all of the usual holiday dishes. But my absolute favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is picking at the leftovers the next day. Turkey sandwich, lots of mayo, cranberry sauce and crisp lettuce . . . Oh Yeah! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. What is your favorite thing about the holiday feast?
If you need a little help planning your Thanksgiving meal {and are a last minute planner like me} . . . check back here in a couple days.
