Best Yams Ever Recipes

Steps:

• Place the peeled and cut yams into a large pot and cover with water. Place the pot on the stove top, turn the heat to high, and let the yams boil for about 5 minutes. Then, drain the yams and set the to the side. In a separate pot, add 1 stick of butter and begin to melt it over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add in the granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Stir and cook for 1 minute, then turn the heat off. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir and add in the vanilla extract. Place the yams into a buttered baking dish and pour the candied mixture all over the yams. Fold in the ingredients and make sure the yams are well coated with the candied mixture! Place the yams in a preheated 375°F oven, uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove the yams from the oven and add the marshmallows on top. Place the yams back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the marshmallows are cooked to your liking.

Steps:

• 1. Drain yams and pour into mixing bowl. Add mandarin oranges with juice and brown sugar. Mix on medium until well blended (about 1-2 minutes).

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices.
• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet and add the sliced sweet potatoes.
• Mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cover the sweet potatoes with sugar mixture and stir. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low and cook for about 1 hour or until potatoes are "candied".
