How to Cook Yams or Sweet Potatoes

For a while, my family and I weren't quite sure what was the most effective way to cook yams. However, thanks to my looking for a recipe for yams, I found a good way to cook them.

Wash the yams, but do not pare (peel). Heat enough salted water to cover yams to boiling. Add yams. Cover and heat to boiling; cook 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Drain. Slip off skins. Leave whole, slice, or mash.
