candied yams
Brown sugar roots
Candied yams are a sweet dish of yams or sweet potatoes baked with butter, brown sugar, and often marshmallows.
The dish is traditional at Thanksgiving and other American holiday meals: Grandma always makes candied yams for Christmas dinner.
Despite the name, the dish typically uses orange-fleshed sweet potatoes rather than true yams.
