Does anyone have a great recipe for sweet yams?

Question

Does anyone know how they make this sweet yams dish, with marshmallows and cinnamon crumbs like the Boston Market style?

sorry, I didn't look, I meant sweet potatoes, I'd like to know, do you just add the marshmallows on top and bake? I think so

Answer 1

I learned a wonderful sweet potato casserole from my mom that is the bomb!! Take 4 - 6 sweet potatoes or yams & peel, then boil until fork tender. Mix with medium speed w/mixer & add 1 egg, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar & butter. Cream all together & pour into casserole dish. In medium saucepan, melt together 1 stick butter 1/2 cup brown sugar & 1 cup frosted flakes. Spoon over dish & bake @ 350 til brown & bubbly ( 35 - 45 minutes ) Goes great with ham!!!

Answer 2

I take giant yams (or sweet potatoes) and bake them. When they are done and cooled, I halve them and scoop out the insides leaving a good amount along the lining of the potato skin. Then in a bowl I add pineapple chunks, melted butter, Cinnamon, salt, pepper, orange juice concentrate to the potato and mix very good with mixer. I then add miniature marshmallows and walnuts and fill the skins back up. A little before the dinner I pop them in the oven to reheat. They are soooo good.
