How would one cook a YAM?

[fryalot]

hmm?

like a sweet potato?

I'd chuck it in a Jamaican lamb stew!

yes, like a sweet potato.

Don't want to put it "in" anything - I had yam once and it was delicious, so I want it on its own so I can recreate that deliciousness iykwim.

So I bought one.

Could I roast it?

Yes you can roast it, normally its eating boiled or in soup.

yes, roasted yam is quite nice, although depends on the type of yam - sometime scan be a bit glutinous. You could into chunks or thick slices and boil it. It doesn't mash that well, so eat as is. Very nice, mild, sweet flavour but a bit boring on it's own.

Like you would potato. Roasted or boiled.

Cut it up into small pieces and season with rosemary, oil & salt and roast. Yumza!

I've aked them before and eaten hem like a baked potato, with lots of butter. Yum!

am going to cook them during the week - perhaps tomorrow.

I shall let you know how they turn out

Pleae can I have some of them? Feeling very hungry.

They have baked sweet potato on my dds school dinner menu now (as a result of Moma Cherrie getting involved) and the children love 'em!
