Can you do the same thing with fresh sweet potatoes after you boil them?

Is this a dish which could be made say the day before and reheated? If so, would I follow this recipe right to the end, then just reheat next day, or would I wait to add the marshmellows and complete the recipe from that point the day of serving? Thank you!

Hello! We do not recommend baking the dish the day before and reheating the next day, as the dish may taste dry the next day. However, you can combine all your ingredients (except marshmallows) the day before and refrigerate it overnight, so all you have to do is add the marshmallows and bake the next day. Enjoy!
