MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL
I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 3 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Peel sweet potatoes and rinse clean. Slice potatoes to 1/2 inch thick slices. Try to keep them roughly the same thickness so they cook evenly.
- In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until smooth. If the mixture is very thick, pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to loosen it up.
- Transfer sliced sweet potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes and toss to combine. You want each piece of sweet potato coated in the mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and gently stir. Bake for another 15 minutes (no foil) and again, gently stir. Check to see how tender the sweet potatoes are at this point. Bake for another 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your potatoes. Make sure they are tender (but not falling apart) before removing.
- If adding marshmallows, sprinkle marshmallows on top and pop back in the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

CANDIED YAMS, MOM'S WAY
My mother every Thanksgiving made her sweet potatoes this way from Libby's canned sweet potatoes and or yams. I'm pretty sure she got the recipe from the can. I don't know for sure but we loved them this way as kids and my children love them this way also. So easy to make and so good! I am asked every year if I'm going to make...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F Place sweet potatoes with juice in a medium baking dish. Distribute butter pieces evenly over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Layer with miniature marshmallows.
- 2. Cover and bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and marshmallows have melted. Then turn broiler on and put back in to brown the top. Watch carefully as it browns fast. I have burned mine many a time.
- 3. *** Most times I added 2 cans of sweet potaoes and drained one. *** We like to mash them down on our plates and add butter. Mmmmm!
- 4. When serving, use a slotted spoon with holes to get the sweet potato's out of the baking dish so the liquid is separated from the potato's. I don't use the juice. I let the guests pull them out of the dish and mash them on their plate and put butter on top to melt over it.
