Toasted Marshmallow Sweet Potato Pie
You know that delicious candy-like sweet potato casserole recipe that is just to die for and only ever gets made during the holidays? It's one of my faves. Yours too? (This reminds me that I really wanted to share my recipe for it. I'll have to take pictures when I make it this year so I can share...) Anyway, I found a recipe for homemade sweet potato pie in Mr. Gracious' grandma's old cookbook, and I wanted to try it. I've never actually tried sweet potato pie before but I figured if it tasted anything like its sweet potato casserole friend, I'd be in for a treat.
So, basically my strategy here was to Granny's classic sweet potato pie recipe with my grandma's flaky no fail crust and put some toasted marshmallows on top. Thanksgiving pie perfection. You can broil your marshmallows for shorter or longer depending on how you like them. I actually like my marshmallows a little closer to golden brown than they are pictured here, but my little munchkins got me distracted, so the marshmallows got extra toasty. But it really didn't matter because it still tasted delicious!
