This was absolutely delicious! I love yams, but I don't much like the usual way they're prepared (way too sweet and gooey). This had just enough sweetness to be very satisfying, and the ginger was a lovely balance. I used the cardamom, and can't imagine not including it! It was terrific. This may be my new favorite way to prepare yams -- thanks so much for posting this! PS: Nearly a year later, I have to add that this is still my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE way to eat yams/sweet potatoes. I more than double the cardamom, and it's just wonderful. I'm shocked that more people haven't tried this. -
This was delicious, thanks! I might double the cardamom next time, too. -
Our family also has a "sweet potatoe puff"-like tradition, with pecans and coconut, etc. But I like this even better. I love sweet potatoes/yams anyway, but this is delicious.

I have always loved to cook. I really love to try new recipes! RecipeZaar is perfect for looking for new recipes. It's the first place I go when looking for something new!
My husband and I moved to Northeast Arizona (up in the mountains) in April (2007). We live near Show Low. The summer was absolutely beautiful! It never got to 100 degrees! Coming from Phoenix, we both enjoy being away from the heat and the city. Our first snow this year was absolutely gorgeous!
My recipe ratings pretty much follow the star system. I will usually make a recipe as is the first time. I say usually but I do still change things sometimes. I try to be fair if I have made changes. I will rate 5 stars if we LOVE it and it will be a regular dish around our house. 4 stars if we really liked it and 3 stars if it was just OK but we wouldn't make it again. I realize everyone's tastes are different so I do try to be gentle. Cooking can be a very personal thing to someone.
