Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes until done.

2. 2

   Skin and mash potatoes while still warm. Add butter and salt to taste. Add milk until the consistency is like creamy mashed potatoes.

3. 3

   Put potatoes in a 2 quart casserole dish. Scoop a hollow in the center of the potatoes and create a rim of potatoes around the edge of the pan. Set aside.

4. 4

   In a double boiler, cook 1/4 lb butter, brown sugar, egg, and bourbon, stirring constantly, until thickened (1/2-3/4 hour--in my experience it never really thickens).

5. 5

   Poor this syrup into the center hollow of the casserole and over the whole top.

6. 6

   Line the edges of the casserole with the mini marshmallows.

7. 7

   Bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until the sauce is a very dark brown.
