Serves: 8
Prep Time: 60
Cook Time: 25
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Kosher salt
- 16 large marshmallows
Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high, indirect heat. For grills with 3 or more burners, turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and leave the remaining burners at medium high.
- Grill the sweet potatoes until cooked through but still holding their shape, about 50 minutes. Let cool until they can be handled, about 15 minutes.
- Put the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat and cook, swirling often, until it melts and turns golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Cut the potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; keep the skins intact. Add the brown butter, cream, sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the flesh and mash with a potato masher until smooth.
- Spoon the filling back into the skins and top each with 2 marshmallows. Place back on grill with lid down and cook until the filling is hot and bubbling around the edges and the marshmallows are golden, about 10 minutes.
