Wow! Everyone loved this - even one guest tried a small bite sure that she did not like yams. She did love it and filled a big spoon for her plate! I only wish I had found this recipe sooner!

Fabulous recipe... I made it with fresh yams, left out the butter and sugar in the casserole (I thought it was sweet enough, and the texture seemed fine without the added butter). I didn't have evaporated milk, so I substituted eggnog (a bit of extra sugar in that). Also, as in other reviews, I used regular cornflakes instead of frosted flakes. It was a hit with everyone at our family gathering, and I've already passed on the recipe. Thanks so much!!

4.75 Stars! A little sweet but it was a nice alternative to regular old yam recipes. Only change I made was as another poster suggested, I used Rice Crispies vs. Frosted Corn Flakes. A huge hit with the family.

Used Pecans! Crunchy, buttery goodness! And I hate yams!

I made this casserole for our Thanksgiving dinner and my family LOVED it! I did make a couple of changes which included baking the yams instead of boiling them (personal preference because I think baking brings out the natural sweetness of the yams) I used half brown and half white sugars and for the topping I used pecans (my favorite w/ yams) and rice crispy cereal (all I had). This is now my all time favorite "sweet" yam recipe! I will make this again and again!

It's wonderful! the whole family loved it. It's easier to eat than the chunks of yam with the marshmallow

This recipe will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth! Everyone mentioned that it tasted more like a desert than a side. But it was delicious and the leftovers were just as good. I did microwave them, but just stirred it up so the topping "disappeared" into the dish. The nuts give it a nice crunch that lasts. I think next time though, I might cut out the white sugar or use just standard corn flakes to save on some calories and future dentist bills ;)

This was a big hit at our office potluck. I didn't have frosted flake cereal so I used rice krispies instead and it turned out great. The second time I made it I did use frosted flakes but we prefer the rice krispies in the topping!

This was great! I didn't add the sugar, because I thought the ones I had were sweet enough. I made a quadruple batch for a Thanksgiving dinner for 23 people. Many of them told me they never eat sweet potatoes but they liked this!

My family refuses to eat Yams/Sweet Potatoes ... until now that is! Once again this year for Thanksgiving I bought fresh Yams in hopes of finding a recipe that my family would actually eat. I will never have to search or hope again. This is the recipe I will use going forward. Only change I made was to use fresh Yams. I simply washed the Yams well with cold water and threw them into the oven with the Turkey. No foil, no butter/oil ... just as they are. Pulled them out of the oven after about 45 minutes. Let them cool for about 30 minutes then peeled and mashed. Followed the recipe from this point on omitting the corn flakes and nuts. My husband refuses to eat anything with nuts too but that's another discussion. I made everyone take at least 1 small "no thank you" bite and was amazed when they actually LIKED it and scooped on a regular serving. Thanks for posting this great recipe!
