Susannes Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat mashed sweet potato, white sugar, eggs, milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until smooth; spread ito a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until firmly set, about 45 minutes.
• Mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together in a bowl until dry ingredients are evenly moistened; spread evenly over the sweet potato mixture and top with marshmallows.
• Return dish to oven and bake until marshmallows are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, place potatoes in water. Top with butter and sugar, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, without stirring, until mixture is thick and syrupy, 40 minutes. Mixture will thicken slightly as it cools. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Steps:

• Bake yams (skin on) at 350-degrees until tender when pierced with fork (approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour).
• Remove from oven and wrap in damp paper towel.
• Increase oven temperature to 450-degrees.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Peel off skin.
• Slice yams into 1/2" thick rounds.
• (For extra-nice presentation, after you've cut the rounds, use a cookie cutter to create scalloped edges or fancy shapes.) Place yam slices in a shallow baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and pour orange juice over all.
• Mix nutmeg with brown sugar and sprinkle atop each slice.
• Top each slice with finely chopped pecans.
• Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and pecans slightly toasted.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Yams: Blend all the above. Use retained liquid if desired (blend should be stiff, nor soupy). Put in buttered 9x13 dish.
• Topping: Mix the dry ingredients, sprinkle on top of casserole. Drizzle melted butter on top.
• Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.
