Candied Yams

• 3 cups Yams. Cooked
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
• 1/2 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 cup Butter, Divided Use
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 cup Chopped Walnuts
• 3/4 cups Coconut Flakes
• 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 cup Brown Sugar

1. Thoroughly mash the cooked yams. I cook them just like you would potatoes when making mashed potatoes. So just slice them up and boil them. They are denser than potatoes and take a little longer to boil but you can tell they're done when you can easily stick a fork in them. I usually use an egg beater to mash them but if you're a real go getter a fork works fine. I've never used canned yams in this recipe before but if you're scraped for time you could give them a try.
2. Add sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, 1/2 cup butter, and cinnamon to the mashed yams. Mix until combined. Spread yam mixture out in a 9X13 pan.
3. In a separate bowl, combine walnuts, remaining butter, coconut, flour, and brown sugar. Sprinkle over the yam mixture in a thick layer.
4. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
