Notes: This is one of those easy holiday casserole side dish recipes that you can toss together a day or two ahead of time (hold aside the marshmallows so they don't dissolve as they sit), cover, and keep in the fridge until you're ready to top with marshmallows and bake.
Yams and sweet potatoes are not the same thing. What we call yams in the United States are actually sweet potatoes. Real yams are more akin to yucca, with dry and starchy flesh, and are usually hard to find in everyday grocery stores. Read the label on the canned yams called for in this recipe – it will most likely say something like "sweet potatoes in syrup." So when someone says "yams," we know they're probably talking about sweet potatoes.
