Sprinkle some more of the flour mixture over the dish and then add another layer of potatoes. Continue alternating the flour mix with the potatoes in this fashion until you have used all of the potatoes. Spread the remaining flour mixture over the top of the dish. Drizzle the water over the dish so that the moisture is evenly spread out. Bake in the oven at 350 °F for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are the desired consistency. If desired, you can spread a layer of marshmallows on top when the dish is finished cooking and then place in the broiler for a few seconds to brown/melt the marshmallows.

This quick and healthy side dish takes just minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables.

Personally, I like my yams a bit sweeter so I would probably try the recipe with marshmallows the next time. It was good the way it was in the recipe and I loved the oats. - 11/27/09

I was really craving yams, and this hit the spot! I added 1.5 cups of mini marshmallows. I will definitely make these again. However, next time I will use less flour and more oats.....and maybe a bit more water. But all in all, great recipe! - 2/13/08
