ghoti_mhic_uaitSweet potatoes with marshmallows get a lot of passing references in entertainment, so when I was over in the US I quizzed ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mstangledwebs and dawaterrat about their usage. You see, I'd been thinking dessert, but the recipes I looked up tended to say casserole.
Well, having got my answer that they're mainly used as a side for your main, I tried it out. We had fried turkey with milk gravy, roast veg, and sweet potato with marshmallows. I halved the amount of sugar the recipe said, and used about quarter of the marshmallows, and it was still much too sweet for that portion of the dinner, to my tastes. I might add some marshmallows to sweet potato pie for a pudding, but I'll stick to roast, chipped, stewed, curried or Madhur Jaffrie's version with cinnamon and raisins for savoury.
