I tried this recipe when I couldn't find my standard marshmallow-topped recipe for
sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. I actually like this version better than my own!
It is very easy to throw together, and the orange juice really compliments the flavor
well! An added bonus that is a family tradition in my house - the little ones are given
the responsiblity of putting the miniature marshmallows in PERFECT rows on top of
the mashed sweet potatoes. It gives them something to do, makes them feel as if
they helped prepare the Thanksgiving meal also (what smiles when you tell them what
a great job they did!) and it keeps them out of your hair for at least 15-20 minutes
while they are busy at the table! My six year old son loved doing it! I am 45 years old
and this has been my job at Thanksgiving since I was about his age. Some family traditions
never change- just the recipe gets better!
