  • Prepare the yams properly: Scrub the yams thoroughly under cold running water. Peel the yams using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut the yams into 1-inch pieces.
  • Cook the yams until tender: You can cook the yams by boiling, steaming, or roasting them. Boiling is the quickest method, but steaming or roasting will give the yams a more flavorful result.
  • Add flavor to the yams: There are many ways to add flavor to yams. You can add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You can also add savory ingredients like bacon, cheese, or ham. Or, you can simply add a pat of butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  • Serve the yams immediately: Yams are best served hot and fresh. You can serve them as a side dish, main course, or even dessert.
