turkey dinner....sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are always on the table during Thanksgiving and Christmas. We use the canned variety with a little additons that we put on it.

Open two to three cans of sweet potatoes or yams
Put them in a baking dish, sprinkle with some brown sugar and bake. Towards the last of baking time , add marshmallows, either the big ones or the little ones, it doesn`t matter. Sweet potatoes usually bake for about 30 minutes in a moderate oven...350 degrees.

I have made whipped sweet potatoes, but my family and I prefer the ones with the marshmallows on top.
