4 yams, cooked (or one 1-pound, 3-ounce can)
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup Kahlua
To cook yams, boil in a large saucepan until tender but still firm. Remove from pan and cool slightly. Peel. Cut yams into serving-size pieces.
In a heavy skillet, melt margarine with sugar. Add Kahlua and cook 1 minute. Add yams, and turn until brown on all sides. Cover. Reduce heat and cook about 15 minutes. Turn yams once more before serving.
