Sweet Potato Casserole

Ingredients 

3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 8), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups mini marshmallows or chopped regular marshmallows

Directions

Heat oven to 375 F.

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water by 1 inch; salt generously. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer, and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20  minutes. Drain, and return to pan. Heat over medium, stirring until liquid has evaporated and a thin film covers bottom of pan, about 2 minutes.

Remove pan from heat; add milk, butter, and nutmeg. Mash until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

Transfer sweet potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish (to make ahead, refrigerate, up to 1 day). Top casserole with marshmallows; bake until center is warmed through and marshmallows are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
