List of Ingredients



• 4 to 5 sweet potatoes
  
• 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  
• 1/2 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
  
• 2 tsp ground ginger
  
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• pinch of nutmeg
  
• 4 T unsalted butter for dish
  
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  






Instructions



1. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan of cold water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 20 minutes. Drain. Place potatoes in a bowl of cold water until skins begin to loosen. Peel cool potatoes; set aside.
   
2. In a small bowl, combine pecans, dark brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter; using your fingers to blend. Slice reserved potatoes 1/4" thick.
   
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter an 8" square baking dish. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes on the bottom. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the nut mixture. Repeat, adding another 1/3 of the potatoes, another 1/3 of the nut mixture, then the remaining potatoes and nut mixture.
   
4. Cover with foil, and bake until heated through, about 40 minutes. Remove dish from oven, and raise temperature to broil. Top gratin with a layer of marshmallows, and heat just until browned, 30 to 60 seconds. Serve hot.
