Candied Sweet Potatoes

 
 7-9 Sweet Potatoes (Yams), washed
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Brown Sugar
2 cups mini marshmallows...

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Boil the yams in a large pot of salted water for about 30 minutes or until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Use tongs to move potatoes to a plate to cool or drain in a colander and allow to completely cool. Peel the cooked potatoes and then slice them into 3/8 inch thick disks.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9×13 casserole pan with butter and layer the potatoes on their edge or side (not flat) in the pan. Place a small amount of butter between and on top of every few potato slices and sprinkle the brown sugar over the potatoes as you go. Sprinkle the marshmallows on top of the layered potatoes and bake for 20 minutes or until marshmallows are toasty and golden.
