I do a lot of mashed sweet potatoes and mashed yams.
Here is how I do it.
Today I took two HUGE sweet potatoes, peeled them cut them into pieces the size of ice cubes (don't act like you don't know what I mean... the square ones you make at home in the plastic containers) and toss them in boiling water for about 20-30 minutes or until they are soft. I mash them up and then add agave, cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Stirring and adding until it's delish. I have also used organic mapple syrup in place of agave.
Usually I do this as a side or as a dessert. I often make it in bulk and have it in the fridge. I usually scoop some into a small leak proof bowl to toss in the cooler while we are on the go.
Lincoln and Nolan both love them with agave. Seems like a no brainer to me now but I honestly had no idea how to cook a yam or a sweet potato. I probably couldn't find one in the store if my life depended on it. (though I can tell you where the oreos are and can probably find them with my eyes closed.) OHHH and just a tip... when choosing them I usually go for ones that look easy to peel. It's faster and easier.
