INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Fill and preheat the SousVide Supreme to 185F/85C.
  2. Put all ingredients, except the marshmallows and brown sugar, into a food-grade cooking pouch and gently massage the pouch to distribute the butter pieces and seasonings throughout.
  3. Vacuum seal the pouch and submerge in the water bath to cook for 1 ½ hours.
  4. Remove the pouch from the water oven, open, and spoon the cooked potatoes into individual ramekins or a large serving dish.
  5. Top the warm potatoes with the marshmallows and sprinkle with a little brown sugar (if desired).
  6. Just before serving, use a kitchen torch (brulee torch) or put under the preheated broiler for a few minutes to toast the toppings until golden and bubbly.  Serve.
