Last week, I shared with you a delicious honey glazed Ham recipe to serve as a main dish for your Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving. To accompany this dish, I made this candied sweet potato casserole. I usually try to reduce sugar, but I was tempted to add some mini marshmallows. Just to put a different spin on a regular dish. After all Christmas is once a year, and we have the right to indulge, test new things and get out of the ordinary. You may think that sweet potato is sweet enough. Yes, it’s true but marshmallow will add that sweet sugar, melty taste to please those little pallets and older ones. Let’s see how you can prepare this Christmas side dish for your guests and family members.
