The honey went so well with the yam! I had one huge yam so I just slliced it up first and put the butter and honey over the yam in the dish...worked out great! Hard to leave alone!
My family liked this simple recipe. I even simplified it more by cutting the potatoes into scalloped slices after they were boiled and just drizzling the ingredients over them. I then baked them in the oven until hot. They were very moist.
I followed the directions used a small yam and still came up with yams that were rock hard. Make sure that the tubers are soft when removed from the water.
Well I did this wrong. Use small yams and bake them whole. Else they get tough. Try some cinnamon.
i like this recipe because it's a new way for me to make yams while keeping them semi-healthy & recognizable (not a mashed casserole with excessive trimmings). i made a half recipe boiled my tubers until they had a little give to them then took the hint from the 1/14/04 reviewer & cut my yams into scallops before baking them. that worked well for presentation purposes as this was a side dish for our thanksgiving dinner. next time we'll try them whole. thanks alenita!
I didn't care for these much when I first had them. Then I forgot a couple of cut up yams in the oven (worst thing I could do) but after about half an hour when I realized my mistake I tasted absolutely delicious yams. Never tasted as good. These need to be baked longer. Fabulous. Thanks. Even my 6 month old loved the creamy insides:)
I have got to learn to read all the reviews before making a dish! My yam was too large so I cut it into 1 1/2" to 2" slices. I had to boil them for over 20 minutes before they were tender. I baked them as directed but found them way underdone. Then I read the reviews. So I baked them more... and then some more. Finally I just ended up mashing and covering them with honey sugar cinnamon and whipped cream. I guess I just don't like the natural flavor of yams.
My hubby who doesn't eat yams or sweet potatoes loved this. My kids well not so much. I went pretty easy on the toppings so maybe next time I will put a bit more. I baked my yams in a 350 oven for over an hour and they were still firm in the thicker spots. We shared one that was done I left the others in the oven until soft and now I have lunch for the next few days. Easy to transport nutritious and easy to reheat even tastes good cold.
We have these often and they are always delicious. They are a great accompaniment. Much better and healthier than the marshmallow version!
