I need a really good recipe for Yams this Thanksgiving. Anyone have any good recipes?

Answer 1

This is from Food Network's Ham on the Street. The best Sweet Potato/yam recipe I've ever had!
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pounds sweet potatoes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup coffee flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 (10.5 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to grease a 2 quart oven-proof baking dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them 1/8-inch thick. Place 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish. Season with salt and sprinkle over 1/3 of the pecans. Repeat 2 more times. Pour the coffee liqueur and cream over the potatoes. Spread the brown sugar evenly over the top and dot with the remaining butter. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potatoes are tender when poked with a sharp knife, about 50 to 60 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and turn on the broiler. Remove the foil and cover the sweet potatoes evenly with the marshmallows. Put the dish under the broiler until the marshmallows are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Let cool a bit before serving.

Answer 2

Well what I do is Buy a few sweet potatoes or yams and then peel the skin off. The I slice about a half an inch to an inch and then boil until almost tender. Strain water and place in a baking dish and pour on the brown sugar (all depends on how sweet you want them) and butter. Bake until soft and then put marshmallows on top and bake just until the marshmallows are just turning brown. You have to try a few times to get it just the way YOU like it. But they are awesome this way. My sister uses the canned kind so you don't have to peel and boil. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Real simple...

1/ Boil yams 2 or 3 big ones until cooked.
2/ While still hot skin and mash while adding 1 stick of butter
3/ Pour into a pyrex baking dish top with mini-marshmallows.
4/ Bake until the marmallows are browned.

Answer 4

This is the best and easiest sweet potato casserole in the whole world - my family has had this every Thanksgiving and Christmas for about 20 years. Enjoy!

SENATOR RUSSELL'S SWEET POTATOES

3 c. sweet potatoes, mashed
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 c. butter, melted

TOPPING:

1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. chopped nuts
1/3 c. butter, not melted
1/3 c. flour

Mix first 5 ingredients thoroughly. Pour into buttered casserole. Mix topping ingredients to crumb consistency. Sprinkle on top of potatoes. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. One large can of potatoes is sufficient. Remove any string from potatoes and drain off most of the juice, but not all
