Notes
Watch closely while browning the marshmallows, if they are in too long they will melt. (Yes, I have done it before, haha!)
If you are making something in the oven that requires a different temperature you can easily bake these at that temperature. Just adjust the time accordingly. If the temperature is lower they will need to cook longer and if the temperature is higher they will need to cook less time. Just watch those marshmallows!
We don’t use much brown sugar in this dish. Additional sugar can be added if you want them to be sweeter.
Fresh yams can be used, just cook them first. Peel whole sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, then cover with water in a large pot and boil 20 - 25 minutes or until fork tender, then proceed with the recipe. You can most likely shorten the cooking time in the oven by about 5 minutes.
I always put these in the oven while the turkey is resting. It's the perfect amount of time for these delicious sweet potatoes to get hot.
