Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.

To prepare potatoes, place potatoes in Dutch oven, cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until very tender. Drain, cool slightly.

Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add half and half, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp salt, and vanilla. Add eggs, beat well (mixture will be thin). Scrape mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

To prepare topping, sprinkle miniature marshmallows over top of casserole. Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup, level with knife. Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in pecans, and sprinkle over potato mixture and marshmallows. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
