3.
Bake casserole, uncovered, 40 minutes, basting potatoes occasionally with sugar mixture and turning slices over halfway through cooking, until potatoes are tender and lightly browned and sugar mixture thickens slightly.

Top the already baked casserole with marshmallows and place in the oven for an extra 10 minutes.
