How to Make Mashed Yams
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel 2 pounds of yams. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Toss the yam cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While yams are roasting, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Once yams are tender, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the melted butter, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Mash until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk or cream if desired, for extra richness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
