I agree that it needed more seasoning. I added some salt, cinnamon, butter, maple syrup and milk. I varied the recipe a bit by first preparing the yams withough the pineapple and instead of using canned pineapple, I used fresh. First mash the potatoes and transfer them to a casserole dish. Add fresh pineapple to the top and bake at 450 until the pineapple begins to brown. To make it with a real Hawaiian taste, try macadamia nuts instead of pecans and walnuts. Just sprinkle on to before serving.

Very nice way to prepare sweet potatoes. Very accurate method - my sweet potates were smooth and creamy. I enjoyed the flavors of the nuts & pineapple in this. The current instructions don't call for any seasonings at all,and after tasting, I felt it needed quite a bit of salt, pepper and cinnamon or nutmeg. I also think this would be nice served with some warm syrup on the side.
