Candied Yams

Ingredients:
3 yams  or orange sweet potatoes
1/4 c. Blood Orange Olive Oil
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans
3/4 c. light brown sugar
2 c. mini marshmallows

Peel and cube sweet potatoes into 1" cubes. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potatoes. Boil for 10 -15 minutes until sweet potatoes can be pierced with a fork. Drain and pour potatoes into a large bowl.

Preheat oven to 400F. To the sweet potatoes add 1 egg, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/4 c. brown sugar, spices and 1 tsp salt. Mash the potatoes, then stir to ensure the spices are well mixed. Brush a casserole dish with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and spread sweet potatoes into a 9 x 9" casserole dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 c. brown sugar over the top of the potatoes, then evenly sprinkle the pecans and mini marshmallows over the sweet potatoes. Bake the dish in the oven for 30 minutes, then broil for 2 - 3 minutes to caramelize the topping.
