- Peel, chop, and boil sweet potatoes in a large pot until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and mash well.
- In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.

Notes
- Can prepare the sweet potato mixture a day in advance and add marshmallows before baking.
- Try adding a pecan crumble topping for extra texture and flavor.
- Use canned sweet potatoes in a pinch—just reduce added sugar slightly.
