Incredible Southern Candied Yams
September 22, 2007 by Kimberly
We love our yams and sweet potatoes so much that not only do we always make the Scrumptious Sweet Potato Spoonbread on each Holiday occasion, my Southern husband needs his Candied Yams as well!
Yes…we make both!

Prep Time: ~ 10 min
Cook Time: ~ 1 hr, 10 min
Yield: Feeds ~ 8 people with 1/2 yam each
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F (same temperature to cook your turkey: http://CookingWithKimberly.com/?p=106
2. Peel yams and cut in 1/2 lengthwise.
3. Grease with ~ 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil a large baking pan (~ 12″ x 17″), and coat yams with remaining vegetable oil, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and pepper.
* Tip: If using 1 large can of yams, skip to step #5, as the yams being used are already fork tender.
4. Arrange yams in baking pan, with flat side up and place in oven ~ 1 hr before turkey is going to be done, and roast uncovered for about 40-45 min, or until fork tender.
5. Take out baking dish and dot with butter, pour maple syrup, and sprinkle with brown sugar evenly over top of yams and return to oven for ~ 10 min.
6. Take back out, baste with liquid in pan, and evenly sprinkle marshmallows on top and return to oven to melt and brown marshmallows, ~ 8 min.
7. Serve and Enjoy!
These Candied Yams are a family favorite, that’s for sure! This is a recipe passed down from Kenney’s Southern grandmother and mother! I don’t know how far back this recipe goes, but it certainly is a real winner!
I hope you truly enjoy this recipe from Cooking With Kimberly! Until next time…
Eat Deliciously,
Kimberly Edwards
P.S. Need a large baking pan? I found a great non-stick pan (especially good for Candied Yams) from Calphalon! Calphalon is absolutely one of my very favorite brands for the kitchen! Amazing quality, even cooking and extremely durable! Get one here:

I found your blog via Google while searching for chinese cooking repipe and your post regarding Incredible Southern Candied Yams looks very interesting to me. I could not believe the amount of quality material on this site. The site is extremely eyecatching and pulls the reader straight it, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing – Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.
Your site – cookingwithkimberly.com is an amazing site, thanks.
Your site- cookingwithkimberly.com is cool site, good job, Kimberly.
