Some cooks place marshmallows on top of the yams during the last five minutes of cooking so the marshmallows melt a little and brown.
For home cooks who are pressed for time, yams can also be cooked using a microwave as long as the skin on each yam has been pierced several times and then cooked for up to 10 minutes. Boiled yams should cook on medium-high heat, while baked yams should roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Similar to sweet potatoes, yams can be made into pies, served candied with marshmallows or cut into strips and made in an oven.
