These are the best yams I have ever eaten. I love the quinoa topping. It is a family favorite.

Ingredients

• Topping:
• 3 cups mashed, cooked sweet potatoes or yams
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup half & half
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cooked red quinoa
• 1 cup coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup whole grain flour
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• Pinch of nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Spread evenly in an oven safe baking dish that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Top the potatoes with the quinoa nut topping and bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Topping: Melt the butter. Stir in the flour, sugar, nuts, coconut, and nutmeg. Mix together with the cooked red quinoa. Place on top of potatoes.
