Sweet Potato Casserole Roses - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 medium sweet potatoes
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 pinch salt
    1/2 sheet puff pastry (store-bought)
    1/4 cup marshmallow cream
    20 mini marshmallows
    confectioners' sugar (sifted for topping)
Preparation
    Slice sweet potatoes thinly (best to use a Mandoline).
    In a bowl, combine unsalted butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt; mix well.
    Pour the mixture over the sliced sweet potatoes; make sure they are all well-coated.
    Place the sliced sweet potatoes in the microwave for approx 20-30 seconds until soft so it rolls easily (add more time in the microwave if needed).
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry.
    Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough in half vertically then horizontally creating 1 inch by 5 inch strips.
    Arrange 15-20 sliced sweet potatoes into an straight row overlapping the edges.
    Starting from the first slice you laid down, roll the lined up sweet potatoes forming a rose-looking shape.
    Brush a strip of the pastry with egg wash then wrap it around the base of the sweet potato rose flower.
    Brush butter in a casserole pan.
    Lay two slices of sweet potato on the bottom, creating a base for each rose.
    Add a dollop of marshmallow fluff on top of each sweet potato base.
    Place each rose on the base, the marshmallow fluff acting as an adhesive.
    Bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes or more until the potatoes are baked well.
    After it cools, place mini marshmallows around the roses and top with confectioners' sugar.
