Recipe Notes

More and more yams are being sold in America as yams. For the longest time they would be labeled “sweet potatoes.” Actual sweet potatoes are not widely available.

So why not call this recipe “Baked Yam”? Baked Sweet Potato just sounds better.

"By bedtime Nanny was at my side as usual, arriving with a large sweet potato, its tummy open with a spoon sticking out of the middle, tiny wisps of steam curling upwards and condensing on the handle. There is something about a sweet potato that cheers you up when you are low and it celebrates with you when you are happy. Sweet potatoes baked in their jackets have a very large comfort factor built into them."
