So I suck and was WAY too excited to eat and didn’t take separate pictures of the yams and potatoes, but you get the gist. They came out perfect, golden, sweet, and delicious. I just kept telling myself it’s a vegetable to make myself feel better about indulging. 😀 Recipe said you can use canned yams/sweet potatoes (drained of course), but it doesn’t take much effort to use fresh ones and I’ll bet its a better flavor!
