Can someone tell me how to cook yams? The canned variety are all in syrup.
Just from assumptions, I imagine you cook them like regular potatoes.
Thanks

I still want to know how you cook them, but I am looking on the internet for recipes. This one seemed interesting.
CAROLINA YAM PATTIES 3 c. hot mashed, fresh Carolina yams
3 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. sugar
2 c. corn flakes, crushed Combine the first 5 ingredients. Shape into 8 patties. Roll them in corn flakes. Bake on a buttered baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until brown. Serve with pork, ham or poultry. Yield: 8 servings.1 cup mashed yams = approximately 2 large yams.

the first recipe looked good, just substitute the corn flakes for oatmeal, and no sugar... They are sweet enough...
Plain and simple I mash em, with a teaspoon of butter (I cant beleive its not butter or something like that) and pepper...
Or dieced and steamed or baked with pepper and garlic on top.... Yams are soo tasty the way they are they dont need alot of things done to them.
Eat...Lift....Sleep......Repeat
Enjoy the process.. but crave the goal.

Just bake 'em. Microwaving isn't nearly as good. Eat straight. Organic are MUCH more tasty than conventionally grown suckers. When baking put them on foil so that when they bleed (they will), you don't have a carbonized mess to clean up. Don't forget to poke a few holes in them before baking with a fork. Yum.

I have never cooked them before and for some reason never really wanted to. I had some over the last weekend at Stubbs in Austin and they were awesome, so I figured I better figure it out. I just got to looking on the net and could not help but post some of these.
So far my favorite is LOUISIANA 'POSSUM AND YAMS. I will have to set my traps out tonight to try and get some fresh Possum, that roadkill kind is a little tangy.
