From: CindyB on 7 Oct 2008 17:09 Hi all, A co-worker just gave me two yams. I am sooo clueless in the kitchen that I thought they came in a can and had marshmellows with them. Shows ya how much I know about some things. (Cooking, veggies) Anyway, any clue how to cook them? My friend said to cut them into chunks and put in the microwave for eight minutes. I can handle that. But, what do you put on them? Butter? Cheese? I have no idea as I have only had them once when I was a kid with the marshmellows. Cindy

She just boils them in water till fork tender. Drain and slightly cool. Slice into 1 inch rounds and peel. I like to add a little butter, salt and pepper. Leftovers kept in the refrigerator (unsliced) make a quick snack for the little one. Just cut off a slice.

Like you, I had them with marshmallows on them and I believe they were also mashed. Yucky!!!! Then my SIL's mom served some for dinner. These were just in chunks. I ate some and really liked them. Perhaps I was really hungry at the time. I don't know. When I asked her how she made them, she laughed and showed me the can. They were done in a heavy syrup. Since then I have tried to eat the canned ones and hated them. I also once bought a couple of really large ones and baked them. I had a recipe at the time. I think I might have peeled them. I remember baking them whole, perhaps covered in foil. I think the only seasonings I put on them were salt and pepper. I remember them being super hard to peel and taking next to forever to bake. And in the end, nobody liked them. I think if anything you would put some butter or olive oil on them. Not so sure cheese would be good. My daughter likes sweet potato fries. I sometimes get the frozen ones that you bake. They're okay, I guess. I wouldn't go out of my way for them though.
