Peel and wash 3 large sweet potatoes, then cut them into crinkle shapes.

Place the sweet potatoes in a pot with about 2 cups of water to prevent browning.

Bring the water to a boil and cook the sweet potatoes until they are firm but not tender.

Drain some of the water from the pot, leaving about 2 cups of water.

Add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of nutmeg, and 4 tablespoons of butter to the pot.

Stir in 1 cup of brown sugar and mix well.

Return the pot to the stove and let it cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally.

Once thickened, serve with miniature marshmallows on top.
