      Yield: 9 servings 
  
  3 1/2 lb Canned, vacuum-packed sweet 
           Potatoes 
      1 c  Sugar 
    1/3 c  Bourbon 
    1/2 c  Butter or margarine 
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract 
      2 c  Miniature marshmallows 
  
  Fresh sweet potatoes, cooked until soft and then peeled, can be substituted 
  for the vacuum packed ones. Don't use drained, canned in syrup as they are 
  too moist. 
   
  Preheat oven to 350. 
   
  Put sweet potatoes in a large heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat, 
  stirring frequently, until heated through. 
   
  Mash sweet potatoes.  Add sugar, bourbon, butter and vanilla; beat until 
  well blended.  Turn into a 2-quart, shallow baking dish. Sprinkle 
  marshmallows over top. 
   
  Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden.
