Ingredients

  • 3-4 Oranges
  • 3 Sweet potatoes peeled and cut into large pieces
  • 2 Tb brown sugar or more to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • 24 Marshmallows

Instructions

  • Peel and boil sweet potatoes until fork tender Then drain and place potatoes in a bowl. Use a fork to mash them up. Then add brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
  • Cut oranges in half and use a fork or spoon to cut out the orange flesh. Have the sweet potato bowl near you so all the orange juice and flesh goes straight in there. Leave some orange fruit pieces intact. Discard seeds. Mix the filling well until most of the lumps are out. Taste for seasoning.
  • Place orange halves in an oven safe dish and scoop sweet potato filling in each one all the way to the brim.
  • Then top with a few medium-sized marshmallows.
  • Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the marshmallows begin to brown and melt.
