I stole this recipe from a friend, but he said I could publish it to the world... :) These are the yummiest savory yams you've ever tasted (or not tasted, rather). Previous to this I'd only had yams that were doused in brown sugar and mini marshmallows. Delicious, but not something I want to eat on a normal day. These yams are savory.
First step is to stab it "all over" with a fork
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. At 45 mins, pull it out, cut it open, and butter that sucker up--inside and out! This will cause the butter to "carmelize" (his words) on the skin instead of the skin turning dry and hard. You also sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder (or in my case, sea salt and garlic pepper) on the inside. Then close that bad boy up and put it back in the oven for another 10 ish minutes.
And voila! You have a delicious yam side dish! Note: I did have to add more salt and garlic pepper to it. I think my friend's turned out better than mine, but watevs. His was a 5/5 rating. Mine is a 4/5 rating. Either way, it is definitely worth experimenting with! Yay for Yams!
