We love our yams and sweet potatoes so much that not only do we always make the Scrumptious Sweet Potato Spoonbread on each Holiday occasion, my Southern husband needs his Candied Yams as well! Yes...
we make both! ~ Kimberly Edwards :D Type: Side Serve With: Holiday Feast Prep Time: ~ 10 min Cook Time: ~ 1 hr, 10 min Yield: Feeds ~ 8 people with 1/2 yam each Ingredients: 4 large Yams 1/4 cup Butter ~ 2 tbsp Vegetable oil - You may use canola oil.
1/3 cup Brown sugar 1/2 cup Maple syrup - Do not use table syrup! ~ 3/4 bag Marshmallows - You may use large or small marshmallows.

com/?p=106 ) 2.
Peel yams and cut in 1/2 lengthwise.
3.
Grease with ~ 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil a large baking pan (~ 12" x 17"), and coat yams with remaining vegetable oil, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and pepper.
* Tip:If using 1 large can of yams, skip to step #5, as the yams being used are already fork tender.
4.
Arrange yams in baking pan, with flat side up and place in oven ~ 1 hr before turkey is going to be done, and roast uncovered for about 40-45 min, or until fork tender.
5.
Take out baking dish and dot with butter, pour maple syrup, and sprinkle with brown sugar evenly over top of yams and return to oven for ~ 10 min.
6.
Take back out, baste with liquid in pan, and evenly sprinkle marshmallows on top and return to oven to melt and brown marshmallows, ~ 8 min.
7.
Serve and Enjoy! These Candied Yams are a family favorite, that's for sure! This is a recipe passed down from my hubby's Southern grandmother and mother! I don't know how far back this recipe goes, but it certainly is a real winner! I hope you truly enjoy this recipe...
