My sister-in-law Mindy introduced us to this yummy yam dish a few years back, and it's become part of our Thanksgiving dinner ever since. It's the topping that does it... coconuts? pecans? brown sugar? How can you go wrong?
COCONUT YAMS
4 medium-sized yams (about 5 cups mashed)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk (preferably evaporated)
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter
Peel yams, cut in pieces, and boil until tender. Drain. Add milk to pot of drained yams and mash a bit. Add beaten eggs and mash to desired consistency. Spread yams in 9x9 pan.
In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients for topping. Toss melted butter with dry ingredients. Spread topping over mashed yams.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until top is brown.
(This can be made ahead of time and frozen. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees until warmed through. Remove foil and let top brown.)

This is an awesome recipe! I bet if you added some mini marshmallows it would be soooo good.
