Any other time I would have made the full recipe, but with PAC & all the recipes I've been making, I cut this one in half for 2 of us! And, as with many of the yam or sweet potato dishes that I make, I didn't peel the yams but rather cut the indicated 1/4" thick slices into additional quarters so the pieces of peel wouldn't be very large! Also, we don't like our mashed potatoes really, really smooth, so I left the mash a little bit chunky! With the vanilla & nutmeg, this side dish was REALLY OUTSTANDING! Thanks, much, for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]

I prepared these yams for a client tonight- family of 8, and it was a hit! I used the new Steam & Mash Sweet Potatoes, which cut prep time down. Added a bit of extra butter. They want this on their "hit list", so in my book, 5 stars!! Prepared for My 3 Chefs, Fall '08
