I have tried to figure out the difference, and I do think that many people are confused about which is which, and that in fact there are two different things. I have looked at the grocery stores to see if they labeled two different things, one yams and one sweet potatoes. No. They are as confused as many of us are.To make matters confusing, most yams sold in supermarkets in the United States are actually sweet potatoes, just marketed under the wrong name – yikes.
Cinnamon is good with the butter.We eat them year round. Our favorite is sweet potato fries. I peel them, cut them long, put some olive oil (a little bit) on the bottom of a baking pan, roll them around in it, bake at 400 for 15 minutes, then broil them a few minutes on each side. Pretty tasty. Sometimes we eat them just boiled and mash them. I like a little butter on mine, husband eats them plain.
Vanilla...will try that.I'm not big on sweetened sweet potatoes but I have to make them for Christmas dinner, or else.
I make a thick caramel sauce:
50/50 demarrara & coconut sugar, a butt load of butter and buckets of vanilla.
Slow cook 2-3" thick sliced potatoes in sauce until just soft, while basting once in awhile. Leave sit to soak up some caramel.
I agree, kales to weak for me, like watered whiskey, I like collards, more like whiskey straight..Joel.... You had me with the ..Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash.. Until they got to the kale....
....insert puking smiley face here...
I would try that in a hot minute, but it wouldn't include the kale.. However I do have to admit the only time I have had kale was at a very up scale Chinese place in Vancouver ...spit... This all put on as a company get together.. The first kale they brought out was deep fried ...retch smiley face... Then it was in other dishes through out the evening... I was polite while there, but would never go back to something like that again..
MUCH preferred the fisherman café by the cannery at the wharf...
