Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of canned?

How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make Mallow-Whipt and Sweet Potatoes vegan, simply substitute margarine for a plant-based butter and use vegan marshmallows. Orange juice is naturally vegan, so you can enjoy this dish without any animal products.
