Bianca's Candied Yams/Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:
4 pounds yams/sweet potatoes
1 1/4 cups margarine
1 1/4 cups brown sugar (or to taste)
1 pound miniature marshmallows
ground cinnamon to taste
ground nutmeg to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13
inch baking dish.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until
done. Drain, cool and peel.
3. Chop yams/sweet potatoes into bite size chunks. Mash half of the potatoes.
4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine margarine, brown
sugar, 2 cups marshmallows (or to taste), cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted.
4. Stir mashed yams/potatoes and chunks into marshmallow sauce.
Transfer to prepared dish. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
5. Take out yams/potatoes and top liberally with marshmallows so that
no yams/potatoes are visible.
6. Bake in preheated oven for another 15 minutes or until marshmallows
are golden brown (marshmallows will expand a lot!)
