Yum Yum Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Poke yams in several places with a fork, then cook them on high power in microwave oven until heated through and soft, about 20 minutes. When cooled, remove skins and place the yams in a large bowl.
• Beat yams until smooth. Then beat in one egg at a time, blending after each addition. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/8 cup melted butter, salt, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg; beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Transfer mixture to an ungreased 3 quart casserole dish. Arrange the pecans in a single layer on top. Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar and drizzle 1/4 cup melted butter over the top.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned and bubbly.

Steps:

• Microwave the prepared yams (see above) until bubbling hot on high for approximately 6-8 minutes.
• Top the hot yams with the marshmallows and set aside long enough for the marshmallows to melt some.

• Note: Watch carefully, the Marshmallows brown very quickly under the broiler.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with aluminum foil.

• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and have begun to wrinkle around the edges, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes in a medium baking dish. Distribute butter pieces evenly over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Layer with miniature marshmallows.
• Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and marshmallows have melted.
