Mm… I love sweet potatoes! Nice recipe, although the amount of butter would make it a tad too rich for my liking.

And with regards to the yam-or-sweet potato confusion amongst some of the responders: the internet is at your fingertips. Go eradicate your ignorance!! This tuber with the yellow-orange flesh is a sweet potato, and NOT a yam.

isnt dat a yam?

This is a great recipe. I used basil from a spice jar instead of sage, ‘cuz hey, nothing else around, and it was incredible.

To the crazies down below talking about yams, American grocers often call sweet potatoes “yams.” A yam, in the correct sense, is a big-ass poisonous tuber that keeps for long periods of time… staple food in Africa… you have to cook it to remove the poison. Those “garnet yams” in your local supermarket are sweet potatoes.

For the record, yams do not have orange flesh nor are they as sweet as sweet potatoes. Orange sweet potatoes received the ‘yam’ appellation as a combination of slave culture(who might have been familiar with african yams) and marketing(look at these new orange yams!)

I guess you don’t know the difference, or just won’t admit it.

it’s a sweet potato. Real yams are totally different.

Please! Tell me how to tell the difference. I think that I’m only seeing one item at every store.

No salt, Mark? Hmmmmm….

I would bet that Mark has known some “nasty little ends” and “tough buggers” in his life.

I have, but what exactly does that have to do with anything?

Gotta love one liners. Just vague enough to sound stupid, and stupid enough to make you annoyed, all without actually saying anything.

You could’ve said, ”you’ve never french kissed a banjo playing squirrel, have you?”. Because they both contain the amount of intelligable information, while conveying the same amount of ‘point’.

So my full answer to you is, ”you aren’t the sharpest nail in the bunch, are you?”.

Dum dee dum.

Meh.

Im a minimalist in life, but definitely not when it comes to the kitchen.
