GRANDMA'S THANKSGIVING SWEET POTATO YAMS
This is an EASY recipe that my grandmother used to make. This is one of my favorites of hers. I don't like sweet potatoes, but I love these. I got the recipe from a friend of hers (she has passed) and decided to share. It's delicious and a sweet treat.

CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS RECIPE
Candied yams are a classic Southern side dish, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving. Even though Mama makes the same sweet potato casserole every year, she won't be offended if you bring these candied yams once she tries them. Lightly spiced and oh-so-sweet, these candied yams will become a mainstay in your Thanksgiving recipe lineup. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla combine with sweet potatoes for the most comforting holiday dish you can serve. One of the best parts about this side dish is that it only has 20 minutes of hands-on time, and you can assemble the dish up to 3 days in advance. Make the recipe through step 3, store it covered in the refrigerator, then bake it Thanksgiving Day. With all the other dishes you have to worry about on Thanksgiving, these candied yams will be a breeze. We recommend serving them straight from the oven while the syrup is still hot.

OVEN BAKED YAMS
This recipe is an easy take on baked yams. The yams are boiled first, then filled with a little butter and maple syrup. After the yams are individually wrapped in foil, they are baked until caramelized and juicy. You can eat them plain, with brown sugar-flavored butter, salt and pepper or a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds. Yams are a staple on everyone's Thanksgiving menu, but not everyone likes the sweetness of candied yams. This is a great alternative that is much more savory. An added bonus is that the yams can be prepared in advance in the morning and warmed just before serving (in the microwave or in a steamer). If you do as much cooking as I do on Thanksgiving, that alone is reason to consider this dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wash the yams and place them whole in a pot (no need to peel them). Add cold water until the yams are barely covered. It's important to start with cold water so the yams cook evenly. Bring to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt and reduce the heat to medium-high (if you cook the yams at a roaring boil, they might fall apart). As soon as the water reaches a boil, cook for about 12 minutes. Test, using a fork; the yams should be slightly tender but still firm (not fully cooked). Remove from the pot. Immediately drain the yams thoroughly and let them cool a little (do not rinse). Once the yams are cool enough to handle and have dried completely, cut them into halves (or thirds, depending on their size).
- Using a paring knife, create a 2''-slit in half, horizontally, making sure you don't cut all the way through the base so all of both parts remain attached. Place a yam in a piece of aluminum foil, insert a thin slice of butter into the incision and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Tightly, wrap the yams individually in aluminum foil (for easy clean-up), making sure to leave an opening towards the tip of the yam, and place all the yams onto a baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F, then lower the heat to 375°F and continue baking for 20 minutes. Allow to rest a little.
- The yams should be fork-tender.
- Each person unwraps a yam, adds his or her own additional ingredients (salt and pepper, brown sugar, butter or toasted sliced almonds), scrapes the flesh and discards the skin.
- Bon appétit!

5 SHOCKING SECRETS ABOUT THANKSGIVING YAMS | FOOD & WINE
From foodandwine.com
Author Noah KaufmanPublished 2017-06-22Estimated Reading Time 2 mins
- You are almost certainly not eating yams. You’re eating sweet potatoes. At some point in the last century, when produce imported from far away lands was rare, growers and grocers made a conscious decision to begin calling orange-fleshed sweet potatoes "yams" to differentiate them from standard white potatoes.
- Yams are an international tuber. Unlike sweet potatoes, which are native to the Americas, yams are native to Africa and Asia. According to the most recent statistics, the top eight yam producers in the world are all in West Africa.
- Yams can be huge. And we mean massive. Yams can grow up to seven feet in length (!) and are generally bulbous and spherical, while sweet potatoes are much more tubular, like the potatoes that they are.
- Yams are way less sweet than sweet potatoes. You might expect this, considering one of their names, but a serving of sweet potatoes has more than 10 times the amount of naturally occurring sugar as a serving of yams.
- Some real yams can be toxic when raw. A variety of bitter yam called Dioscorea dumetorum, when uncooked, can be dangerous (cooked yams are fine). A study found that in some parts of Africa they are actually used to poison animals.

- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and vanilla. Add in the sliced yams/sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Transfer the potatoes and any additional sugar mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and peel back the foil and stir the potatoes. Place the foil back over the top of the pan and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until yams are fork-tender.

TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING FOOD LIST: 12 POPULAR ...
From nextstepenglish.com
- Turkey. No traditional Thanksgiving dinner would be complete without turkey! In fact, in informal conversation, some people refer to Thanksgiving as Turkey Day.
- Stuffing. Stuffing is another one of the most popular Thanksgiving dishes! There are various ways to make it, but it usually consists of finely chopped breadcrumbs, onions, and herbs that are stuffed inside the turkey and cook with the turkey inside of the oven.
- Mashed Potatoes. Mashed potatoes are another staple of any traditional Thanksgiving dinner. They are also very easy to make! White potatoes originally came from South America, and they had not yet made their way to North America in 1621.
- Gravy. Gravy is a brown sauce that we make by adding flour to the juices that come out of the turkey while it is cooking. On Thanksgiving, it is traditional to eat gravy with the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes.
- Cornbread. Cornbread is one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes! It’s a type of bread made from corn flour, and it has a cake-like consistency. You can make it sweet or savory, and it is delicious both ways.
- Rolls. It’s also common to have rolls on Thanksgiving. My family serves both cornbread and rolls, but I only eat the cornbread. At the first Thanksgiving meal, the Pilgrims didn’t have butter or wheat flour, so whatever bread they had would have been made out of corn.
- Sweet Potato Casserole. Another common Thanksgiving food is the sweet potato casserole. It’s served as a side dish, not a dessert, but it is very sweet.
- Butternut Squash. Butternut squash is a typical Thanksgiving food, and it can be prepared in a variety of ways. It has a soft texture and a sweet flavor.
- Jellied Cranberry Sauce. My husband loves some Thanksgiving foods, like turkey and pumpkin pie, but he detests jellied cranberry sauce. He actually calls it an abomination!
- Spiced Apples. Apples are very much an autumn fruit because most apples are harvested between September and November. A traditional Thanksgiving dinner will often feature spiced apples.
THANKSGIVING SWEET POTATO RECIPES THAT ARE TOTALLY HEALTHY ...
From cleanplates.com
- Hasselback Sweet Potatoes. Grab an extra-sharp knife to create these fancy-feeling Hasselback sweet potatoes. Though admittedly more labor-intensive than tossing whole potatoes into the oven, Hasselback sweet potatoes are impressive in presentation and extraordinary in their texture.
- Sweet Potato Soufflé. If you’re looking for a recipe that feels familiar yet a little different, try this sweet potato soufflé. Coconut milk and orange zest add flavorful pizzazz, while the use of a non-wheat flour means you can serve up this treat for gluten-free (and dairy-free) guests.
- Roasted Garlic and Herb Sweet Potatoes. What could be simpler than tossing diced sweet potatoes with garlic, thyme, and olive oil, then roasting to crispy perfection?
- Healthier Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Casserole. It’s easy for classic sweet potato side dishes to tip over into dessert territory. Thankfully, this sweet potato pecan casserole takes the classic concept and gently coaxes it back to the savory side with the use of chili powder and a modest serving of bacon.
- Sweet Potato Wedges. Roasted potato wedges are great for three reasons: 1) They give you baked potato energy without having to commit to throwing a whole potato on your plate.
- Healthy Sweet Potato Gratin. While conventional gratins call for heavy cream and piles of cheese, this healthier version proves you can lighten things up without sacrificing great taste.
- Sweet Potato Gnocchi. Impress friends and family by showing up to Thanksgiving with this pillowy sweet potato gnocchi. The recipe uses the time-honored flavor combination of sage and brown butter, which never fails to pair beautifully with the tender sweetness of a sweet potato.
- Mashed Sweet Potatoes. Mashed potatoes don’t have to be an either/or situation: Feel free to keep the conventional version and add these alongside, or go wild and declare this the year of sweet potato mash only.
- Sweet Potato Latkes. Hanukkah starts just after Thanksgiving this year, so there’s no reason to hold off on the latkes. Crispy shredded sweet potato with onion and garlic?
- Baked Sweet Potato Fries. We’re not going to pretend that fries normally find their way to a traditional Thanksgiving table, but there’s nothing wrong with shaking things up a bit, is there?
