Sweet Potatoes with Meringue
By using meringue instead of marshmallows, Maria Hines adds a sophisticated twist to this holiday favorite. Prep and Cook Time: 1 3/4 hours. Notes: You can make this recipe through step 1 up to a day in advance, covering and chilling the cooked sweet potatoes. Before proceeding with step 2, bring potatoes to room temperature, then reheat in a 375° oven until hot, about 15 minutes.
