Ingredients:
1 Lg and 2 "regular" cans yams/sweet potatoes
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C Maple Syrup (get the real if you can)
Nutmeg, ground
Allspice, ground
Cinnamon, ground
Cardamon, ground
Ginger, ground
Mini Marshmallows (optional)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Drain the yams/potatoes from the large can and place the yams in the bottom of the casserole dish. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the juice/syrup from one of the other cans of yams. Using a potato masher, coarsely mash up the potatoes and juice to make a thick layer on the bottom of the dish.
Dot the bottom layer with butter. Sprinkle a light dusting of each of the spices over the bottom layer. Cover the layer with half the brown sugar and half the maple syrup.
Remove the remaining sweet potatoes from their cans, reserving the juice. Place the whole sweet potatoes/yams from the 2 "regular" cans on top of the mashed layer. Sprinkle a very light dusting of the spices over them, and add the rest of the brown sugar and maple syrup.
Pour just enough juice over the whole sweet potatoes to come about 1/2 way up the sides of the potatoes.
Cover with tinfoil, and bake at 400 degrees until hot and bubbly, and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 25-30 minutes).
Remove foil.
If not using marshmallows, bake another 10 minutes to allow sauce to thicken more.
If using marshmallows, cover the top with a layer of marshmallows. Set oven to Broil. WATCHING CAREFULLY (will go from "nice" to "carbonized" in moments!), broil until marshmallows puff and brown toasty on tops, and start melting down into the potatoes.
Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes or so, for sauce to "set up" and molten marshmallows to cool to safe temperatures.
Makes approx 8 servings.
