Pineapple Sweet Potatoes are a simple and delicious side dish for poultry or pork. This version, which starts with canned sweet potatoes is very simple to put together and have on the table in record time. Sweet potatoes are a favorite in my family, ans Pineapple Sweet Potatoes are always a big hit.
My husband and I created this recipe one Easter while visiting my parents. My mother had injured her back, and was confined to a recliner. It was Easter weekend, and the entire family had planned to celebrate at her house. Since my mother was unable to cook, my husband and I ended up preparing Easter dinner with my mother offering instructions and advice from her chair. This recipe was created on that fateful Easter Sunday.
We mashed a drained can of sweet potatoes, added spices and stirred in a can of crushed pineapple. The whole thing was topped with marshmallows before going into a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. I had never made yams before, and we had no clue what we were doing. 
Fortunately, Pineapple Sweet Potatoes turned out to be a very tasty side dish that was well received by all of the dinner guests.
