Loaded Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 12 large sweet potatoes
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup toasted pecan pieces
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash the sweet potatoes, scrubbing them well to remove any dirt. With a fork, prick the sweet potatoes in a couple of spots and place them on a sheet pan. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center goes in easily.
2. In a large bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and flour together until it�s crumbly-looking. Add the cinnamon and salt.
3. Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center and push the ends toward the middle so it opens up. Fluff the potatoes with a fork. Stuff the sweet potatoes generously with the streusel topping and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes or until melted. Remove from oven and top with marshmallows and pecans and bake for 5-10 minutes more.
