Sweet potato casserole gets a tricky makeover. What looks like a plate of poutine (french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds), is actually a familiar sweet trio: sweet potatoes, brown sugar and toasted marshmallows.

| Active: | 15 min |
| Yield: | 6 to 8 servings |
Ingredients
- One 20-ounce bag frozen sweet potato fries
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the fries according to the package directions. Keep the oven on after they are done baking.
- Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the sauce comes to a full and rolling boil, cook for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and keep the sauce warm.
- Whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss the hot baked fries in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Pile them into an 8- to 9-inch heatproof serving dish and scatter the marshmallows over the top. Put the serving dish on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake until the marshmallows soften and just start to brown on top, about 5 minutes. Drizzle with the warm brown sugar sauce before serving.

Reviews
We had this dish in a B & B and loved it. It was an appetizer but I think of it more as a side dish. I came home to try to find a recipe to duplicate that dish and this one does! My kids request this as a side dish to their favorite meals! So easy and a real treat 🙂
Easy and yummy- a nice twist on traditional sweet potatoes!
Sweet but incredible! A great twist on two classic dishes. Will definitely make again!
