ingredients
6 large sweet potatoes or yams
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup white sugar
1 pound dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cut in small bits
2 cups miniature marshmallows
directions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices. Place them in a large pan of water with the salt and white sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and let cook at a slow boil for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Drain the potatoes well then place in a baking dish. Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with the brown sugar and cut up butter.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Top the sweet potatoes evenly with the miniature marshmallows. Return the pan to the oven and bake until the marshmallows are golden brown and starting to melt.
Serve the candied sweet potatoes with marshmallows hot.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This dish was a hit! I made two types and the other just sadly sat there on the table as this was gobbled up. (Pun intended)

This is a great recipe to start or carry on a family tradition, we do it without the marshmallows, you might find it easier to boil the yams whole until the peel is soft enough to rub off with your thumb, then slice at a slight angle to keep enough room for your butter/sugar
