(Cooking time: 50 minutes, total time: 55-60 minutes, yields 4- 6 servings)

Ingredients:

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained and reserve liquid
• 6 marshmallows

Instructions:

Wash, clean and scrub sweet potatoes under running water before baking. In a 450° F preheated oven, bake them until soft or fork tender. Remove from oven and allow the newly-baked sweet potatoes to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out their flesh, leaving their shells intact.

In a large mixing bowl, mash sweet potatoes with butter, milk, salt and ½ cup crushed pineapples. Add more milk or butter until desired consistency is reached. Pour the mixture into the empty sweet potato shells. Top each shell with sliced marshmallows and a spoonful of crushed pineapples.

Use the reserved pineapple juice to make yummy syrup topping by placing it in a saucepan and bringing it to a boil. When done, pour the pineapple syrup into each sweet potato. Place sweet potatoes under a broiler and wait for them to turn nicely browned.
