Sweet Potatoes

Famous Sweet Potatoes

Karo Syrup
Brown Sugar
Butter
Mini Marshmellows
Yams/Sweet Potatoe

Anyway at the store they are by the potatoes... I beleive they are actually called yams... the reddish/orange odd shaped ones. Try to get the most smooth/egg looking shape, the ones with little twists or curves are harder to peel. (i hope that made sense). Anyway about 3 med/lrg for a small square pan.

Peel them, dice them, boil them until soft like you would mashed potatoes. Then drain and mash either in bowl or pan with a fork or potatoe masher. You really don't want any chunks.

Then put in baking dish.

Get your corn syrup and pour it over the top... I have no real measurement. just the majority needs to be covered.

Then get brown sugar and sprinkle very generously over the top. (More is better than less on the karo and brown sugar)

Sliver some butter on top of that, every few inches.

Top with a thick layer of mini marshmellows.

Heat in oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until marshmellows are puffy and lightly toasted.
