I had a friend in Indiana around 35 years ago that cooked for the VFW. This is a VFW recipe.
6 sweet potatoes, unpeeled but scrubbed well
1 stick butter or margarine
2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup marshmallows
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
Boil sweet potatoes with the skin on until tender. Peel and mash; add sugar, salt and butter to taste.
Place in a baking dish around edges only, leaving a space in center for sauce. In a skillet, melt butter and brown sugar over low heat. Allow to caramelize, then add 1 cup of water and cook until sugar is melted. Remove from heat and add a thickening of cornstarch in the remaining 1/2 cup of water. Pour in center of potatoes. Sprinkle chopped nuts and marshmallows over sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through.
