Ithink you just layer them all but don't remember anything else. I also need to know how many people it is for because I need to make if for 20 people. Thanks

Hmm, it's not a pie, but it has marshmallows and brown sugar. We made this Candied Sweet Potato Casserole for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it, including people who don't like sweet potatoes. It's VERY sweet though, but delish.
Here's the recipe, the prep time is 15 mins, it cooks for 55 minutes, and makes 10 3/4 cup servings

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided
2 tablespoons of orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
3 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into one inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 cups mini marshmallows

1.preheat oven to 375. Mix 1/4 cup brown sugar, orange juice, vanilla, and one teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in large bowl. Add sweet potatoes; toss to coat. Transfer to 13x9 in baking dish. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Cover and bake 45 minutes or until potatoes are slightly tender.
2. Meanwhile, mix flour, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. Cut in remaining 2 tablespoons butter with a fork until crumbly. Stir in pecans and marshmallows.
3. Remove casserole from oven and stir gently, to coat potatoes in syrup. Top with marshmallow crumb topping. Bake, uncovered another 7-10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and marshmallow topping is golden brown.

I peel and cut up the sweet potatoes into circles. I put a layer of syrup on the bottom of the pan, put a layer of potatoes, sprinkle some brown sugar and put a few small pats of butter. Put the butter on every other layer. Watch how much syrup you put in because when the brown sugar melts, it creats more liquid. About 5 mintues before they are done I sprinkle on mini marshmellows. I usually put the oven on 425-450, keep tray covered for the first 45 mintues and then take off aluminum foil.

Thanks, once my friend made it with canned yams. I thought that is how you do it, but the fresh potatoes sound better. It was really good though with the canned yams.

I make something very similar with fresh yams, but in a pinch have used the canned ones. It is good with the canned yams, but I think it is sooo much more flavorful with the fresh ones. Just my opinion.
