You have toits just one of those things.

The pecans on top add that little something-something we all expect from Dolly.
Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Transfer the mashed sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top.
Sprinkle it with the pecans, then cover the casserole evenly with the marshmallows.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake until the marshmallows are golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
