In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and pecans. Simmer for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, place sweet potatoes in a large bowl and mash (leave some chunks). Pour sugar mixture over sweet potatoes. Add cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir until well blended. Transfer to a metal pie plate. Top with marshmallow topping. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.
