- Boil yams with skin on until they are tender. A fork should go right through
- Drain yams and cover with cold water so that they cool down. Don’t let them sit in water too long or they get water logged.
- As soon as cooled, drain yams and peel them. Slice in half. If really large, slice each half in half again.
- Fry until browned on each side. You can use a combination of butter and oil (extra light olive oil or avocado oil) or only fry in oil – your choice.
- Place in a 9 by 12 pan
- For each 9 by 12 pan, when you are ready to bake the yams, in a frying pan melt 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar until bubbly then pour over the top of the yams. The mixture does not need to be evenly spread.
- Bake at 350 degrees until the topping is bubbling all over.
