A sweet potato side dish that will not only grace any holiday table but will also captivate everyone with its unique flavor. Slice the top of a baked sweet potato in its skin, top it with a topping of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, pecans, and marshmallows, and return it to the oven until the topping crisps up and turns into a wonderfully crisp streusel with pieces of soft marshmallow. At first glance, it seems like an unusual addition to a side dish, but you'll be surprised how harmoniously its slightly caramelized flavor and spicy, sweet aroma pair with the sweet potato.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes, scrubbing them thoroughly to remove any dirt. Use a fork to prick each potato a couple of times and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserts easily.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and flour until crumbly. Add the cinnamon, salt, pecans, and marshmallows; stir the streusel to combine.
  4. Cut a slit down the center of the sweet potato and push the ends toward the center to open it up. Fill the sweet potato with a generous amount of streusel and return it to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes or until the topping is toasted and bubbling.
