Spray or grease lightly Pyrex or Corning dish. Put a layer of potatoes, layer of marshmallows until filled. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar for added flavor. Bake about 350 degrees until HOT. Remove from oven and put marshmallows on top. Place again in oven to brown lightly. Serves 10 to 12. You may add 1 cup scalded homogenized milk to potato mixture. Orange extract may be used instead of orange juice. It is stronger in taste so add carefully to taste.
