Savory Whipped Yams - Thanksgiving Week 2010


This is a wonderful side dish and different from the overly sweet candied yams. I am re-posting it for Thanksgiving Week.

Until about 15 years ago I thought the only way to eat yams was covered in butter, brown sugar and marshmallows. We went to a friends house for dinner and she served them savory, I was hooked. It is a refreshing way to serve Yams!

Ingredients
2-3 large Yams
1/2 cube butter or margarine
salt and pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste, I use 1/2 tsp but I like heat
crumbled bacon (optional)
1/2 tsp fresh sage chopped finely

Peel your Yams and cut them into cubes, boil in water until fork tender, drain.
Add the above ingredients to your Yams, whip them with your hand held mixer and serve.

They are amazing!

Sweet potatoes are my favorite side dish. If my hungry hordes would tolerate them, I'd eat them every night!

Happy Thanksgiving, Cheryl.

Oh man… I love the way you have written on the subject in detail I shall surely have the article saved and the print out of the article shall surely be circulated in the college premises and also within my group of friends. I am sure all of them are going to have a good time reading on the subject.

How to spatchcock a chicken or turkey!

Finishing some of Cheryl's drafts... Keeping spatchcocking simple. Using a VERY sharp cleaver or kitchen shears -- not scissors, carefu...
