UNKNOWNCHEF86'S SIMPLY BAKED YAMS OR SWEET POTATOES



Unknownchef86's Simply Baked Yams or Sweet Potatoes image

Simple, yet delicious. Humble, yet elegant. If you've never tried baked yams (or sweet potatoes) before, you should. They're a delightful change from the usual veggie. I've never really cared for yams or sweet potatoes, as my mom always served them whipped with marshmallows on top. Nothing wrong with that dish....it just wasn't my style. But this...this I can get behind 100%.
