[VegasCeliacBuckeye]

Folks,

it's very simple, I use canned yams, brown sugar, butter, and marshmallows. Just drain the can, put in pan, put slices of butter and brown sugar all over it, bake for a while then at the very end put Kraft Marshmallows on the top and bake just til lightly toasty and melted.

I usually add drained crushed pineapple and crushed peacans of walnuts. (raisians if not pineapple)

I love sweet potatoes, but I HATE all varieties of "candied yams". (Ugh! I thought sweet potatoes were nasty 'til someone took off the marshmallows! ;-) )

Here are some things I do with sweet potatoes:

* slice into fries, shake in a bag with olive oil, rosemary, and salt, then bake in the oven at 300F for 50 minutes or so (or use chili seasonings, or use a sweet ginger glaze)

* cube and steam, then mash like regular potatoes - add a pinch of brown sugar, salt, pepper, butter, whatever other seasonings you might like

* cube and simmer with a cubed butternut squash, a 1 lb bag of baby carrots, and a box of vegetable broth. after everything's soft and cooked through, blend in a blender or with a stick blender, add a touch of cumin, and serve as soup.

* cook in the oven like a baked potato and serve that way too. :-)

I eat garnet yams for lunch a lot of days. They're really good just baked in the oven (they're done when almost black-ish on the outside) , cut like a baked potato, filled with smart balance, cinnamon and brown sugar. You could peel after cooking and then add the butter and stuff. They're also good mashed with these ingredients. I never use marshmallows on yams either.
