CP: Yams

How do you prepare yams when you eat them?

List all the different ways you prepare them, because I've had yams once and didn't like them at all, maybe it was just the way they were prepared IDK.

I'm not a yams fan. Ugh.

Only eat them at Thanksgiving. I like them in big chunks, baked w/ butter, sugar and pecans.

Ive been eating the white sweet potatoes recently. I just bake and slice. Since ive been trying to stay off processed sugar, ive been trying to find natural alternatives.

Peel, slice and bake! I add green or red peppers, carrots, onions and sweet potatoes/yams. Cover in olive oil, salt and pepper and bake at about 400. Serve with brown rice! YUMMMMM!

I like yams and always have. H thought he hated them, but that's because he'd only ever had them prepared in a sweet recipe. I brown half a stick of butter in a sauce pan, add a squeeze of orange juice, a generous sprinkle of sage, salt and pepper, toss chopped yam (or sweet potato) chunks in the butter. Roast at 425 for 30 minutes. H absolutely loves this recipe, and begs for it regularly. Super good!

Growing up, my dad always fried them in butter...and it's not a holiday to me without fried yams. Love them!

Yams are closely related to grasses and sweet potatoes (both the white and orange flesh types) are in the morning glory family. True yams originated in Africa and have skin that looks a bit like that of a mature coconut (brown and sort of furry).

I like them, very much. Sometimes D will pull out the little fryer and make sweet potato fries, which is a special treat, but i also like them roasted, either on their own or with other root vegetables (just olive oil, salt and pepper, or a mixture of seasonings).

Another yummy way to make them is to bake them (like a baked potato), then peel and mash them, add a little bit of butter and plain yogurt (or something richer if you prefer), rosemary (best to grind or chop it) and pepper.

I'm not sure if I'm eating yams or sweet potatoes, it's whatever FCF has been sending lately, but I love it.

I've really liked putting them in curry. It's a nice little bit of sweet to balance out the spicy.

Those would be yams. The FCF ones are SO good!
