Ingredients

4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 5 large), peeled and cubed
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes; drain.
Transfer to a large bowl and mash. Add milk, brown sugar, butter, egg, cinnamon, vanilla, allspice, salt and nutmeg; beat until smooth.
Transfer to a greased shallow 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° until heated through, 40-45 minutes. Top with marshmallows. Bake just until marshmallows begin to puff and brown, 5-10 minutes longer.
