Barbara's yummie yams!

Here it is, Hicks fam. You all wanted this recipe. Prepare and bake at least 2 days before serving.

6-8 Yams (not totally sure how many)
2 cups dark brown sugar (about that much)
1 stick of butter
pkg. of mini marshmallows
orange

* Boil yams until a little soft, cool and peel. Slice in to 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices and arrange in a 9x13 dish overlapping each other in rows. Put about 1 1/2 cups of the brown sugar on the top. Cut up the butter and place on top. Cut open an orange and squeeze some of it on top of the yams. Bake @ 350 for 45min.-1 hour. If there is a lot of liquid in the bottom of the dish after baking you can pour some off before you bake it the second time. Cool then refrigerate until ready for final bake before serving. Final bake: 350 deg. for 45 min. (you can add some more butter and brown sugar if you want to before baking) Add the pkg. of marshmallows the last 5-10 min. Take out when marsh. are browned. Let stand for 20 or so min. before serving so they can soak up some more of those delicious flavors!
