Big cans of yams, drained
Lots of butter
White & brown sugar to taste
2 eggs, separated
Pinch of salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, ginger & cloves
Cooking sherry or wine
1 tsp. vanilla
12-13 oz. can evaporated milk
Buttered casserole dish
Large marshmallows

Squish yams up in bowl; add butter, sugars, spices and sherry/wine to taste. Add egg yolks and can of evaporated milk until it is a good consistency.
Beat egg whites and fold into above. Pour into buttered pan. Bake at 350 degrees until a crust forms on the top. Take out and top with marshmallows; return to oven until marshmallows are brown.

go to recipezaar.com and look up "sweetpotato casserole" and you can't go wrong!!

I didn't think I would like the mashed yam casseroles, but I had one last year that had whipped yams and it was excellent. It was very light and fluffy, I don't know how they did it. It also had a topping of brown sugar mixed with pecans interspersed with marshmallows. If you can find anything similar try it.

Did Yum! Yum! Yum! derived from Yam! Yam! Yam? In British Guiana (now called Guyana) South America the local word for eat iz (is) Yam!
