I have a yam, or a sweet potato-whatever, and I was going to have a scoop of cottage cheese on top of it and a side of broccoli.<br><br>
This isn't sounding very appetizing. But I'm determined to eat this damn yam.<br><br>
How would <b>you</b> eat it?

a little bit of butter and some brown sugar?

 

[Buxtehude]

Thank you for taking my urgent yam situation seriously, bootsie!

I cut it up into round slices, add some olive oil and seasonings and bake as fries. Yummy! I think I know what I am having with my veggies for dinner.

I ended up eating the yam as planned since I have no butter or brown sugar. And I ate an orange.<br><br>

that is generally how i eat them! Sometimes i eat them for breakfast, i cut them about 1/2 inch rounds, spray with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, wrap in tin foil, bake at 400F for 45 minutes then take to work and eat when i get in. YUMMY. Just perfect!

I like them this way because I am not a big fan of making them sweeter. I like them savory...

 

[merigayle]

i agree!!!! I cannot imagine them sweeter. I am going to attempt to plant yams in my garden this summer <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> i am an addict.

I hope your yam was tasty without the embellishments, Bux. I bake mine on a lower heat (300) for a LONG time ( up to 2 hours) until they're oozing with goodness. It caramelizes the insides, makes the skin crunchy, and then all I add is some Bragg's liquid amino acids, and occassionally a bit of butter.

Me too! I'll sometimes add a bit of this smoked seasoning I have ...very tasty!

Most of the time I smash 'em up and add a little salt and pepper and I'm good... But sometimes I add a little applesauce and cinnamon when I'm smashing them. Yum. I've also done the "baked like fries" method.
