Old Fashioned Candied Thanksgiving Yams

0 Wash and peel yams. Slice into 3/4" thick slices. Add to a large pan or pot. Cover with sugar, brown sugar, butter, salt and cinnamon. Do not add condensed milk yet. Allow butter to melt and stir to combine. Allow to simmer on medium-low for 20-25 minutes or until the yams are fork tender (don't overcook them!). You do not need to add any water. Once the potatoes are fork tender, use a masher to slightly mash. The potatoes will absorb a lot of the sweet liquids. We like to keep ours chunky. Drizzle condensed milk and stir in slightly. This will give the yams a really delicious creamy texture. Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish. Cover with mini marshmallows (as few or many as you'd like). The most I add is a half of a bag of the mini mallows. Bake uncovered at 350° for about 25 minutes or until mallows are a light golden brown. This gives the marshmallows slightly crunchy texture on top, if you'd rather the mallows be really soft, just preheat the oven on broil and add the casserole dish in for less than 5 minutes or just until mallows are golden (DO NOT LEAVE THEM OR THEY WILL BURN!)I usually prefer the broiled method. It is fast and the yams do not need any additional baking time.
