To begin I poked four sweet potatoes several times with a fork and then put them in the microwave. 

To calculate cooking time allow five minutes for the first one and add two minutes for each additional sweet potato.

Before removing the sweet potatoes from the microwave I poked them with a fork to make sure they were cooked through.  

Then I allowed them to sit for about 5 minutes before cutting them in half.

I used a spoon to scoop the flesh from the sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl.

Next I mashed the sweet potatoes with some brown sugar, margarine and salt.

Then I dumped everything into a casserole dish.  I used a small round one.

I spooned about half a can of cherry pie filling on top of the sweet potatoes.

The final touch was to make a ring of mini marshmallows around the edge of the casserole dish.

I placed the casserole dish into a preheated 350F oven for 25 – 30 minutes or until marshmallows browned.

Remove from oven and serve it up as part of your holiday meal or treat yourself to this delightful dish any time of the year!
