Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Roast whole yams in preheated oven until heated through but not quite tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, orange juice, and nutmeg with the melted butter to dissolve the sugar completely; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid thickens into a syrup, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Peel cooled yams. Cut yams into bite-size chunks; arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over the yams.
- Bake in the preheated oven, twice opening the oven to spoon syrup over the yams, until the chunks are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Arrange marshmallows over the yams and continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13x2 baking pan (or 4 quart casserole) with cooking spray.
- Mix flour, brown sugar and salt in a microwavable 4 cup measuring cup.
- Add syrup from yam cans so that the measuring cup contains about 2 1/2 cups. (You'll add about 2 cups of syrup, but some of the sugar and flour dissolves.) Stir.
- Add butter, sliced.
- Microwave, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick, but still pourable. This step took me about 10 minutes. I start with 90 seconds, then stir every 30 or 20 seconds. If it gets too thick, add water and stir.
- Place yams in sprayed casserole. Pour sauce over yams. Bake until the sauce starts to bubble, about 25 minutes.
- Top with marshmallows and return to the oven to brown, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm yams. Avoid any yams that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Peel and cut the yams into uniform-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Boil the yams until they are tender. You can check this by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, the yams are done.
- Drain the yams and mash them until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a food processor for this.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the mashed yams and mix until well combined. Be sure to add the marshmallows last, so they don't melt completely.
- Pour the yam mixture into a greased baking dish and bake until golden brown. You can also top the yams with additional marshmallows before baking.
- Serve the candied yams warm. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a dessert.
