Yam Duty

This Christmas my contribution to the dinner was yams.  As I usually did roasted vegetables or a dessert of some sort it was a food adventure to try something new.  I started with a bag full of yams and washed & peeled them.  I chopped them into larger pieces and placed them in a pot of salted water.  I cooked them until soft and then drained the water.  I returned them to the same pot and added butter, cream, pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon.  I mashed them until they were soft and creamy and then transferred them to a casserole dish and topped with large marshmallows cut in half.  They went this way to the in-laws house where we gently broiled them just before serving.  Two thumbs up for this yummy vegetable!
