ingredients

6 medium yams
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
5 cups sugar

directions

Peel and slice yams about a quarter inch thick. Rinse and pat dry.

Place yams in a large skillet, add water, butter or margarine and pour sugar over all. Cover tightly with well fitting lid. Simmer over medium heat for 30-35 minutes.

Spoon syrup over potatoes once. Do not stir, because it will break your potatoes up.

    I need to make 1 serves can you help me with this

    • To resize a recipe it works best to divide it in even numbers so I would recommend changing the serving size to "2" instead of 1 (it'll make the measurements easier to follow). Just use the button at the top to change it.

  2. SecretChef REVIEW:

    This recipe was what I've been looking for so long..Just a simple way to make yams..This recipe is so direct and its open for you to add any extra ingredient (I added nutmeg). Thanks I was added too much water until now!
