This easy recipe calls them yams, but they are really called sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into rounds

  • 1/2 c butter, melted

  • 3/4 c brown sugar

  • 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows

  • Pecans for topping if you choose.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF
  • Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into round slices.
  • Either lay the rounds nicely in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish or do as I do and just toss them all in.
  • Melt the butter and pour evenly over the sweet potato slices.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top and lightly toss to coat everything.
  • Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Top the casserole with all of the marshmallows, and bake another 5 minutes or so or until the marshmallows are toasty and browned. Keep a close eye on this. It may not take as long depending on your oven.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use canned sweet potatoes if you only have those on hand.
