Notes
Depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, they may need more or less time to cook. Check with a fork or sharp knife through the center.
Poking holes in the sweet potatoes before baking is important because it helps release the steam as they cook.
When you remove the filling from the potato, take care as it will be extremely hot and can cause burns.
Make sure the butter is slightly cooled before mixing into the filling to ensure everything mixes smoothly and evenly.
Keep an eye on the potatoes during the second bake as the marshmallows can quickly burn.
