Author Notes

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe years ago and we prepare it every Christmas and Thanksgiving. This is definitely not a dish for someone on a diet, with its tons of calories and carbs! I love American yams/sweet potatoes, SO different from their Brazilian sisters! The marshmallows are my contribution, by the way. —Emilia Rosa

Tried this recipe for a Canadian Thanksgiving potluck. Great reviews. Deliriously sweet! I used buttermilk instead of regular milk (had some extra I wanted to use up). Very tasty
