How to Make Berry Mallow Yam Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a large bowl, gently toss 2 lbs cooked yams (about 4 medium), 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce, and half of the crumb mixture.
  5. Transfer the yam mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and top with 2 cups mini marshmallows.
  9. Place under the broiler until marshmallows are golden brown and toasty, watching carefully to prevent burning (approximately 2-3 minutes).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
