Ingredients
  

  • 6 large sweet potatoes about 5 lb.
  • 1 pound carrots thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and poke holes in the sweet potatoes using a fork. Place on a prepared baking sheet and bake until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° F.
  • While the potatoes are cool, cook the carrots in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until very tender; drain and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, process carrots with the butter until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer carrot mixture to a large bowl.
  • Scoop out flesh of the cooled potatoes. Process each batch of sweet potatoes with a little sour cream until the potatoes are very smooth. Remove to the bowl with carrots and add any remaining sour cream.
  • Stir in brown sugar through black pepper and stir to combine. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350° F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the marshmallows. Bake 10 more minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
