CANDIED YAMS FROM SCRATCH
Do you ever wonder why Grandma's dishes taste so much better? They are usually made from scratch. These from-scratch candied yams are so good and have that old-fashioned flavor we all crave during the holidays. These yams are creamy and full of flavor. Sweetened condensed milk adds a creaminess that's a little different than...

Steps:
- 1. Peel the yams and cut into 3/4 inch slices.
- 2. Place the yams in an 8 quart stock pot. Cover with brown sugar, sugar, and butter.
- 3. Cook over low to medium-low heat until the yams are fork-tender (about 20 to 25 minutes, do not overcook). Water is not needed ~ the yams cook in the sugar and butter without water, as the yams themselves give off their own juices. Do not add the sweetened condensed milk yet.
- 4. Once the yams are fork-tender, use a masher or hand mixer to blend all that sugary, juicy goodness with the yams. No need to remove any of the liquid, it will all blend perfectly.
- 5. Mix in, to taste, a couple of tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. This will give your yam mixture an ooey, gooey texture.
- 6. You may also add cinnamon and/or nutmeg to taste.
- 7. Spoon into a casserole dish.
- 8. Cover lightly with marshmallows.
- 9. Bake uncovered at 350 F for about 25-30 minutes or until the marshmallows are a light golden brown.
- 10. NOTES: If you double this recipe, use a really big pot, otherwise, cook time is longer. To make this ahead of time, place the covered casserole in the fridge without the marshmallows. Once you're ready to bake, first place in the microwave on low or defrost just to take the chill off and then add the marshmallows. Then pop it in the oven at 350 F to cook.

Steps:
- Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
- Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
- Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.

- Prep the yams. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350ºF. Peel and cut 3 large yams into 1-inch pieces.
- Partially cook the yams. Place the yams in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat and simmer just until they can be pierced with a fork and starting to soften (they will not be fully cooked), about 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
- Transfer to a baking dish. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the yams into an 8x8-inch square baking dish (reserve the cooking water). Spread the yams out in an even layer.
- Combine the water, brown sugar, and vanilla. Transfer 3/4 cup warm reserved cooking water into a measuring cup or medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir to combine.
