Serves 10 to 12 Notes from the cookbook: The most sensational yam casserole I ever had was served to me one Thanksgiving by Alan and Barbara Shefter in Washington, D.C. Thanks to the Shefters, my family, friends and classes have been loving it ever since. The yams are fluffy and creamy, and the praline topping is sweet, nutty, crunchy, and beautifully glazed. If you want more of this delectable casserole, double the recipe but make it in two separate casseroles so that the proportions of the filling to the topping remains correct. Sweet potatoes can be used instead of yams. Source: Marlene Sorosky's Year round Holiday Cookbook
