Sweet Potato Tartlets

By msippigrl

Frozen mini fillo (phyllo) shells are filled with a simple sweet potato filling then topped with a mini marshmallow and baked. These little gems are perfect for parties.

Ingredients

• 1 medium red sweet potato, cooked and mashed (3/4 to 1-cup) (I microwaved the potato)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 to 2 tablespoons real maple syrup (depends on how sweet your potatoes are)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (1.9-ounce) package ) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells (I used pre-baked Athens brand from Walmart)
• 15 miniature marshmallows

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, mash sweet potato with butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Transfer mixture to a plastic ziptop bag, cut off a corner, and pipe filling into the tart shells. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Top each with a marshmallow.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until marshmallows are lightly browned.

Note:

My potato mixture was a bit dry so I used 2 tablespoons syrup and 1 tablespoon water to loosen it. It wasn't quite sweet enough for me so I added 1 teaspoon sugar too.
