Made this for our 1st Thanksgiving (cooking by myself) and it was a GREAT success! Highly recommend it :)

I wanted to contribute to the Thanksgiving feast without having to vie for oven space/time. This recipe was perfect! Even the non-sweet potato eaters liked it! I left the yams in chunks after peeling, omitted the coconut. I also added about 3 cups of mini marshmallows on top about 10 minutes before serving; they don't brown, but melt in for that gooey sweet treat. Crockpot cooking times can vary; mine took only about 3 hours on LOW.
