Of course, if you just absolutely have to have your marshmallows, be my guest....just not in my house.

I havent had sweet potato casserole in years.... I think the marshmallows were the reason I didnt care for it too much... I think Im gonna make one for thanksgiving this year. Give the yankees something different than pumpkin pie this year.

If you don't use room temperature eggs when adding them to butter and sugar the batter may break or curdle which will make the dish grainy or have a flat texture. Using room temp eggs allows more air and a fluffier dish. You should always use room temp eggs when baking, actually a little above room temp by placing the eggs in a bowl of warm water for 20-30 minutes before using them.

try mixing in apple sauce, crushed pineapple, chopped pecans and/or a shot or two of bourbon. Any or all of those things are pretty good. Also a layer of sliced apples on the bottom is a surprise some like.
