I need to find out how to make yams....?

Question

I went to my husbands work party today (lots of people so I could not get the recipe from the person who made them) and I had some yams that where out of this world. They where sooooo sweet and good. I'm pretty sure it was due to the brown suger. They also had marshmellows. I make yams with brown suger and marshmellows but they never tast as good as these did. Does anyone have a recipe that tast really sweet.

Answer 5

There are two ways to make this dish, one has a Marshmelow topping, the other includes Marshmellows in the casserole. Here they are:

MARSHMALLOW SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

8 med. sweet potatoes
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. hot milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 c. chopped walnuts
1/2 lb. marshmallows

Cook sweet potatoes until tender. Remove skins and mash. When smooth, beat in butter, milk, salt, spices. Beat well. Fold in walnuts and turn into buttered baking dish. Top with marshmallows and bake at 350 degrees until marshmallows puff and become golden brown.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH
MARSHMALLOWS

8 average size sweet potatoes
1 tbsp. vanilla
3-5 tbsp. sugar (to taste)
1/2 stick butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon to taste
1/4 - 1 tsp. nutmeg to taste
1/4 c. orange juice to taste
Marshmallows (lg. or miniature)
Cinnamon sugar (opt.)

Boil (or bake) sweet potatoes until done. Remove peeling from HOT POTATOES and mash well, removing all strings. Add all ingredients but marshmallows and cinnamon sugar; mix well. Spray or grease lightly Pyrex or Corning dish. Put a layer of potatoes, layer of marshmallows until filled. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar for added flavor. Bake about 350 degrees until HOT. Remove from oven and put marshmallows on top. Place again in oven to brown lightly. Serves 10 to 12.
You may add 1 cup scalded homogenized milk to potato mixture.

Orange extract may be used instead of orange juice. It is stronger in taste so add carefully to taste.
