How to Make Yam And Marshmallow Casserole

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and bake one medium yam (about 1 pound) until tender, about 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Alternatively, you can use 1 pound of cooked sweet potatoes.
  3. Let the yam cool slightly, then peel and mash it thoroughly using a hand mixer or potato masher.
  4. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the mashed yam.
  5. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  6. Pour the yam mixture into a small greased casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  7. Top evenly with 1 cup of mini marshmallows.
  8. Broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and bubbly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delightful Thanksgiving side dish!
