Ha yeah 'American food' - like who needs marshmallows and Pop Tarts anyway?
The marshmallows are there for the same reason as canned pumpkin and cranberry sauce: ๐ฆ Thanksgiving. There's no excuse for Poptarts.
Who eats marshmallows on thanksgiving?
They're a common topping for candied yams.
Really??? Gross.
You probably don't like s'mores, either. They would be the other reason for marshmallows, I assume. Especially anywhere there's likely to be a campfire.
They go on top of the sweet potatoes/yams.
1.Roast or boil your yams/sweet potatoes until soft. If you buy canned, they'll already be very sweet, so taste before you add anything.
2.Discard the skins, and chop/mash the insides with butter, salt, pepper, brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange juice or milk (not both!) until you like the texture and taste.
3.Spread the mixture in a flattish oven-safe serving dish and arrange marshmallows on top. It can now go into the fridge until the turkey is out of the oven.
4.Before serving, put into a hot oven until they're hot and the marshmallows are puffed and toasted.
You CAN obviously make them without the marshmallows, but then it's just a vegetable, not a festive treat of childhood memories.
