• when sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into a large bowl; discard skins. beat sweet potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth.
• measure 6 cups of mashed sweet potato into a large bowl; beat in 3/4 cup brown sugar, cream, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. pour sweet potato mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• place the rolled oats into the bowl of a food processor or blender, and pulse until oats are finely ground. place oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, flour, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon into a bowl. cut 2 tablespoons cold butter into the oat mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly; sprinkle evenly over sweet potato mixture.
• bake in the preheated oven until sweet potatoes are heated through and oatmeal streusel is lightly browned, 70 to 80 minutes. remove from oven, sprinkle immediately with marshmallows, and let stand until marshmallows are melted, about 10 minutes.
