  1. Deeee-licious! These are wonderful, smooth, creamy, savory way to enjoy yams. I doubled this recipe and I peeled my yams prior to baking and loosley wrapped them in non-stick foil. I followed everything else exactly. I'm wondering how a splash of vanilla would be in this....hmmm...I'll have to experiment. I'm making this to take to a family Thanksgiving dinner next week! Thanx for sharing!
