3 to 4 sweet potatoes or yams
2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar
dash of cinnamon
Preheat over to 350 degrees
Peal 3 to 4 yams or sweet potatoes
Cut in round slices
Bowl for 15 min in large pan with enough water to cover
Put in large 13x9 casserole dish
take 1 cup of the water from the pot you boiled the potatoes in and put in a smaller pan.
Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar, dash of cimmamon,
2 tablespoons of margarine or butter and bring to a boil
cook for 15 minutes on medium until liquid starts to thicken and reduce.
Pour over potatoes in casserole dish
bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours until the potatoes start to thicken.
Do not stir or they will fall apart.
Cover with mini marshmallows and cook another 5/10 minutes until they start to brown.
NOTE: If you want to use can yams it is ok. Just use 1/2 cup of the liquid of the can
potatoes to make your sauce and drain the rest off. It will take a very large can to feed 6 to 8 people.
You will only need to bake for 45 min and use less liguid because the yams are already soft.
SPECIAL NOTE: Don't use big marshmallows. They tend to get big and they will boil over the dish
and mess up your oven. ha ha ha I learn from my mistakes.
