1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the cubed yams. Cook for about 10 minutes or until they are just tender. Drain the yams and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
Place the cooked yams in a baking dish. Pour the sugar mixture over the yams, making sure they are evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the yams are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Classic Candied Yams!
