Pour yams into baking dish. Chop yams to provide even coverage of bottom of pan, but still medium-to-large sized chunks. Sprinkle walnuts, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon on top of yams. Place pads of butter evenly on top. Sprinkle 1/2 bag marshmallows on top. Place dish in oven for 25 minutes. (Careful not to burn marshmallows). Stir in lightly-browned marshmallows and return to oven for 25 minutes.

Remove dish and cover again with remaining marshmallows. Turn oven to broil and place pan back in oven for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully not to burn marshmallows. Marshmallows should be lightly browned.
