Davianne's Sweet Potatoes

This one is a Huge hit with my family! They had no idea it was low fat until I told them after they ate and loved it!


by Davianne Hughes

3 sweet potatoes or yams
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 c. reduced fat butter-melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c. mini marshmallows

Topping
1 c. chopped pecans
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. reduced butter-melted

Cut ends off sweet potatoes. (they are too stringy and gross) Chop sweet potatoes into large wedges and boil until they do not stick to fork when stabbed. Drain out all the water, let cool then peel off the skins. Put skinless sweet potatoes in big mixing bowl. Do not mash, they will naturally get mashed up when stirring everything together. Add sugar, unsweetened pineapple juice and melted butter and mix well. Then add marshmallows and mix again. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spoon in sweet potato mix. Mix all the topping ingredients together and spoon/spread over the top.
Put in oven at 350 degrees for 40-50 min.

Let cool for a little and serve warm.

Serves 12 (about 1/4-1/3 c. servings) 7 PointsPlus each
