"Chef"? Blame Mary Brown? She might have inspired the pamphlet recipe?

Most people point to a 1917 pamphlet by the Angelus Marshmallow Company as the first time sweet potatoes and marshmallows came together. This company is believed to be the first to commercially-produce and sell the squishy white marshmallows we know, roast, and snack on today.

“Also in 1916, Mary Brown from Georgia contributed the recipe [Sweet] Potato Marshmallow Pudding to a community fundraising cookbook called At the Sign of the Rolling Pin,” Forrest says. “Mary noted, ‘this dish is used in the South with the vegetable dish,’ suggesting that the dish had been long in circulation before the Angelus Marshmallow pamphlet.”

That being said, the trend really exploded after the Angelus Marshmallow Company pamphlet was distributed far and wide.
