My family uses the canned yams in light syrup (they're in a pink can, and they're consistent and sweet). Put however much you need (drained) in a casserole dish, toss in some butter and brown sugar (amounts really don't matter, it just depends on how sweet you want it) and mash lightly, but still keep them sorta chunky. Then put mini marshmallows on top and bake in a 350* oven for like 30 mins. the last 5 mins or so turn on the broiler to get the marshmallows browned and crispy.

I usually bake 4 potatoes on a cookie sheet for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on how big. Then scoop out all the insides and mash with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup condensed milk. Then put in baking dish, usually brownie dish, sprinkle with 1/2 cup brown sugar and cover in marshmallows. Bake about 20 mins, let cool and serve!

Adding coconut makes it super-good also.

I use fresh sweet potatoes and boil them. (like mashed potatoes). Then add brown sugar, butter. Top with marshmallows and bake.

My recipe uses canned yams all mashed up, softened butter/margarine mixed in to it along with a 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a 1/4 bag of mini marshmallows all blended in...then put a can of whole cranberry sauce on top, and bake it. Towards the end, take it out and put marshmallows on top and bake it until the marshmallows are brown on top. So yummy...sweet and tart combined.

Not mashed - although I suppose you could easily mash - but I love this recipe from Whole Foods. Made it last year and will be making it again this year!
