Roasted and Mashed Honey Yams
Print Recipe
This dish is more dessert-like than savory, almost tempting me to top my portion with whipped cream.
2 1/2 pounds yams or sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup water
Cooking Spray
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Peel yams with a potato peeler and trim any tough woody edges off. Dice the potatoes into about 1-inch size pieces. Place them in baking dish. Drizzle with honey, salt and water. Cover dish with foil.
3. Baked at 350 for 50 minutes, or until fork tender. Carefully remove foil and mash yams in the dish. Move to a serving bowl.
4. Top with a little vegan butter or butter if desired, but I like to leave mine plain.
Serves 6.

Looks really yummy - one of my favorite veggies. I'll refrain from the yam vs. sweet potato controversy.... for now. ;)
Like me, you live in the north Patricia so you guys are technically correct. These are sweet potatoes.
The south has such a connection to these thing through I couldn't make myself call them by their proper name.

Mmm I love the way this sounds. Sweet potatoes are my favorite!
I am totally down with eating dessert for dinner in sweet potato form!
This sounds delish!
Yams... sweet potatoes, same thing :) You used the white? I still haven't tried them. I, also, would be tempted to add even a small drizzle of heavy cream. Tis the season!
Great recipe.
Yum! This sounds so delicious! =)
