Yams and sweet potatoes are an essential part of any holiday meal. Mashed glazed or incorporated into sweet casseroles there are many ways to prepare these flavorful and nutritious root vegetables. While not common outside the U.S. the combination of yams and marshmallows has long been a favorite seen most often during the holidays especially on Thanksgiving tables across the country. If you’re not a fan of the marshmallow topping or find it too sweet omit it or add the marshmallows to only half of the casserole dish.

Although true yams are a completely different vegetable orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are often called "yams" to distinguish them from lighter-fleshed sweet potatoes. Yams are large plump tubers that don't look much like sweet potatoes and aren't often found in most American grocery stores. But if you can find them you're in for a treat. Otherwise substitute sweet potatoes for equally flavorful results.
"This recipe is such a decadent and delicious side dish. It's sweet and incredibly tender. The marshmallows on top create a fluffy cloud for a beautiful presentation. Pair it with Thanksgiving Day dinner or a weeknight for something even the kids will enjoy. The "hardest" part was peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes." —Victoria Heydt
