Steps:
- In a large saucepan add yams, cinnamon, sea salt and water.
- Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn heat to low. Check yams after 15 minutes to make sure there is liquid still in the bottom of the pan, if not add another 1/4 cup water to prevent burning and check yams for doneness. Recover and continue to cook yams for another 5 minutes or until fork tender. DO NOT DRAIN.
- Remove lid and allow yams to sit for 3 minutes.
- Add butter and pepper.
- Mash yams with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk if needed.

BUTTERY MASHED YAMS
Also spelled foofoo or foufou, fufu in its many variations is a staple in western and central Africa. Traditionally, it would be made by pounding - pounding, not mashing - the boiled tubers or plantains. This version offers a modern shortcut using the food processor. Use whatever proportions of starch suit your taste. Half yam (not sweet potato) and half green plantain might be a good starting point. Serve with soup, stew, or cooked vegetables.

MASHED YAMS
I was tired of plain old mashed potatoes. Tried this as an alternative. Now, we eat more yams than white potatoes!
