Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using fresh sweet potatoes instead of canned. If you're looking to reduce sugar, substitute with a natural sweetener like maple syrup. You can also add chopped pecans or walnuts for a nice crunch. If you prefer a lighter version, use egg whites instead of whole eggs and swap butter for applesauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh sweet potatoes! Boil or bake them until tender, then mash until smooth. This will add a fresher flavor and a slightly different texture to the dish.
What can I substitute for raisins?
If you're not a fan of raisins, you can use dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots as a substitute. They will add a nice tartness that complements the sweetness of the potatoes.
How do I know when it's done baking?
The dish is done when the sweet potato mixture is firm and set. You can insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. After adding marshmallows, bake until they are golden brown and toasted.
