They are really a great food and one of the few healthy things we can count on the kids eating.Anthonyhttp://eatnourishing.com/author/guitarguy/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449636177182263039.post-23511886400618679752011-06-30T23:52:08.941-06:002011-06-30T23:52:08.941-06:00I wrote recently an article on the health benefits of sweet potatoes and it got a lot of coverage.

That Perkos used to be called Bradshaw&#39;s Restaurant. They serve sweet potato fries with a delicious walnut dip.Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02313736185454798848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449636177182263039.post-77143975144017335262009-09-30T14:16:23.221-06:002009-09-30T14:16:23.221-06:00@Alexandra: Here is the recipe on one of the flyers, for a cinnamon yam mash. I imagine you can be creative with the spices or try treating them like mashed sweet potatoes. The preparation seems easy enough although I&#39;ve never made this, but by just boiling them and cooking them you should be fine! Good luck!<br /><br />Cinnamon Yam Mash / bahamabreeze.com / Serves: 4<br />2 1/2 pounds of yams, peeled, 2” diced<br />1 quarts water, hot<br />1/2 tbsp salt<br />4 oz butter, cold, 1/2” dice<br /><br />1. Place the peeled and diced yams in a large stock pot. Add hot water and salt, then place the stock pot on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 35 minutes or until an inserted fork in the yam pierces easily.<br /><br />2. Drain the water from the yam and transfer them into a mixing bowl. Using a wire whisk, mash until yams are broken up. Add diced cold butter, ground cinnamon, white pepper and brown sugar then mix again until the yams are smooth and all of the ingredients are mixed evenly. If needed, season with additional salt to taste.

I bought two varieties, I think &quot;yellow&quot; and &quot;brazilian&quot;, whatever that means. Where can I find some preparation instructions? I&#39;ve found a few things on the web, but it all looks kind of scary. Lots of boiling and rinsing and boiling and pounding and boiling again! I&#39;m gonna give it a try, but I don&#39;t want to be poisoned! <br /><br />HELP!Alexandranoreply@blogger.com
