Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water for 20-30 minutes, THIS MAKES THEM MUCH EASIER TO PEEL AND SLICE.
Let cool until they can be handled, then peel and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Layer slices in a lightly greased 12x8x2-inch baking dish.
In a bowl combine butter ,syrup,nutmeg,allspice and sugars;---blend until smooth and glassy-- spoon over sweet potatoes. Cover tightly and bake for 30--45 minutes, or until TENDER. Top with marshmallows and leave uncovered and return to oven until they melt and start to brown.
