Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil that is big enough to wrap the entire potato.  Scrub your sweet potatoes well with a vegetable brush, and then poke the skins several times with a fork.  Place them on a square of foil and season them with a little salt and pepper.

Wrap the sweet potatoes in foil and twist both ends of the foil to seal well.  Place them on a baking sheet and bake them for about 45-50 minutes at 375 degrees until potatoes are tender.  Let them cool for 15-20 minutes then unwrap and cut in half.    

 

Making the brown sugar sweet potatoes for stuffing:

Scoop out the potato from the skins leaving enough to maintain the shells and place in a mixing bowl.  Add butter, milk, vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon and combine well with a potato masher.

Fill each of the potato skins with the brown sugar sweet potatoes mixture.   Then place them back in the oven to reheat for 3-5 minutes and remove and top with miniature marshmallows.

Toast the marshmallows by using a culinary torch or by placing the potatoes back into the oven with the broil setting on low. Watch carefully, the sweet potato casserole marshmallow topping will toast up quickly, in about 1-2 minutes.
