Candied yams add a comforting Southern flair to your holiday table. Sliced yams are coated in a buttery, sugary, spiced glaze, and baked until beautifully caramelized. It's one sweet side dish that will have everyone going back for seconds!
Candied yams are different from a sweet potato casserole which often has marshmallows on top. But I personally love the sweet, syrupy glaze! It's simple, sweet, and spiced — making it hard to stop at one bite. So if you need a new potato dish to add to your Thanksgiving menu this year, you can't go wrong with this classic candied yams recipe.
