Ingredients
>
Cooking spray
>
2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 4 medium)
>
1/2 cup whole milk
>
4 tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
>
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
>
1 orange
>
2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 3-qt baking dish with the cooking spray.
2
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2-inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15–20 min., until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3
Drain the potatoes and return to pot. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth. Add the milk, butter, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. Zest half of an orange and squeeze juice from entire orange into mixture, then add beaten eggs. Mix until well combined. Spread evenly into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
4
Bake 20 min., then remove from the oven and heat broiler on high. Carefully line casserole with marshmallows and broil until marshmallows are toasted and turning golden, about 30–90 sec., watching closely to prevent burning. Let rest 10 min. before serving.
