Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Rub olive oil onto the outside of each sweet potato and sprinkle sea salt over each. Arrange sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a sharp knife easily pierces the potato, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool sweet potatoes until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.

04

Step

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until solids begin to brown and smell nutty, 5 to 8 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. (8 minutes)

05

Step

Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop insides into a large bowl. Add browned butter, cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and mash using a potato masher until smooth. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Spoon mixture back into the sweet potato skins and top each with 1/4 cup marshmallows. Place sweet potatoes back onto the baking sheet. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the oven until warmed through and marshmallows are toasted, about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture.
If you prefer a smoother texture, use an electric mixer instead of a potato masher.
To prevent the marshmallows from burning, you can tent the sweet potatoes with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
