These are for sure the BEST candied yams in the world! Every Thanksgiving my family assigns this dish to me to bring because everyone LOVES them. I do not like yams, but I will eat a whole pan of these!
Note: If you don’t want these to be really sweet, decrease the amount of sugar added to the yams and the topping by about a half a cup.
Candied Yams: Copycat of Boston Market
2 cans 40 oz. each Yams
4 eggs
1/4 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup whole milk or evaporated milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Topping:
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
1/2 cup (one stick) butter softened
Directions:
Using a mixer, bosch or kitchenaid, blend the yams, vanilla, butter, sugar and milk at medium speed until well blended. Whisk the eggs together in a bowl then blend into the yam mixture.
Pour into a cake pan and spread evenly.
Make the topping by using a fork to mix together the flour and brown sugar. Add the butter and mix well with a fork.
Sprinkle evenly on top of the yams.
Bake at 350 for about 30 min or until the yams don’t wiggle

This recipe is delicious! Almost too sweet, tbh. It’s more like a dessert than a side dish. I generally add pecans or marshmallows, and cinnamon, so I have to adjust the sugar accordingly.
