- 7. Bake until puffy. Serve immediately
- 8. I always double this recipe so we will have leftovers for the next day. You can make this up the night before and then just pop it in the oven with foil to warm and THEN add the marshmallow.
HOLIDAY SWEET POTATOES
The sweet potatoes, apples and pecans used in this dish are all grown here in southern Arizona. In the fall, we like to visit the pecan groves and pick up the "leavings" after the pickers have gone through.

Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly before baking. Scrubbing with a vegetable brush can help remove any dirt or debris.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
- Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, or pecans.
