Is that like "Buckra Yams"? I have seen sweet orange yams referred to
as buckra yams. What's the difference? Sweet Potato Fries are the "in
food" here!

Candied Plantation Yams

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 pounds orange or red yams (about 4 large)
1 lemon -- thinly sliced and seeds removed
1/2 cup pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar, orange
juice, orange rind, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat slowly, stirring
occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. In a
large mixing bowl combine yam slices, lemon slices, pecans, and warm glaze
mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Butter a 15x10x2 Pyrex baking dish.
Arrange yam slices alternately with lemon slices and pecans. Pour any
remaining glaze mixture over top. Bake uncovered in center of oven for
1-1/4 to 2 hours, basting thoroughly every 10-15 minutes with glaze in
baking dish. Baking time will vary according to moisture content of yams.
Yams are done when they can be easily pierced with the tip of a knife and
most of the glaze mixture has been absorbed. The remaining glaze should be
the consistency of thick honey.

The yams may be served immediately or kept loosely covered at room
temperature and reheated just prior to serving.

NOTE: Raw, uncooked yams should always be used. If your skeptical about
the lemon slices, they become completely candied in the baking process.

So make4 some, they're excellent! I hate sweet potatoes made any sweetened
way, but baked and fries I love. They're hard to find here, but when I
do...
There was a chain restaurant in Georgetown DC named after some financier of
the early 20th c. that introduced them to us Eastcoasters.

I see sweet potato fries on menus sometime. Look for them at restaurants
that tend to feature healthy and/or organic food. They are also popular
at those little bistro kinds of restaurants.

LOL! Maybe...

I've found several restaurants in the Phoenix area that offer either sweet
potato fries or sweet potato chips. Whenever I see them I order them.

Backin Ohio it was more common than here. Maybe as one reaches the west
coast they disappear altogether. :-) IIRC, they were even more common back
east. Many places in NYC serve them.

I've read about them here for years and one or two trendy restaurants
here may have had them on the menu in the past, but I missed it. I'll
look for them if I ever get back East again.

Check for them in Trader Joes freezer section. They are now carrying
them here in Albuquerque, so they might be there in your neck of the
woods. I haven't tried them though.

Thanks! I was at TJs last week and didn't notice them, I wasn't
looking for them specifically either.... so I'll look again. I just
need to satisfy my curiosity.

They're on the menu at TGI Friday''s but only as a side with certain
entrees. You can order them separately though. I can't figure out what
you're supposed to dunk 'em in so I leave 'em nekkid.

If you feel the need for something to dunk them in, sour cream is good. I
think anything else messes with the sweet potato flavor.

Not sure they had sweetbuck fries, but it might be of interest (or not) that
there is a TGI Fridays in New Delhi in India

The only way we have eaten sweet potatos is baked with butter. I would like
to have some (non sweet) recipes for it.

Not recipes, per se, Ophelia, but you can substitute them for white
potatoes in potatoes au gratin or similar dishes. They are also good
cooked in chunks when added to a roast or stew. They make a good mash,
too, as you would with white potatoes. Unfortunately, many folks in the US
add a ton of sugar or brown sugar to their mashed sweet potatoes.

There is only one way I enjoy then sweetened, and that is in candied sweet
potatoes.

I also have a recipe for them, that TammyM posted for me about 2 years
ago.

Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large (about 1 1/2 pounds) sweet potatoes

Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a small bowl, combine cumin, salt, and
pepper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes, cut
each in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 6 wedges. In a large
bowl, combine the cut potatoes, oil, and spice mixture. Toss until
potatoes are evenly coated.

Bake the fries: On a baking sheet, arrange potatoes in a single layer
and place on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake until edges are crisp
and potatoes are cooked through -- about 30 minutes. Serve
immediately.

I was raised on sweet taters, any leftover baked ones were fried by Mom
the next day. Sliced them in rounds and fried them in butter in a big
cast iron skillet. We just ate them as they came from the pan. I still
like them that way.

I'd forgotten about my mom making them that way, George. IIRC, she added a
slight dusting of granulatede sugar to caramelize them even more. Good
stuff!

We did Christine. No great shakes...homemade is better. Probably Whole

Hmmm....

Well..I like the ones from the recipe that Tammy posted. They were
pretty darn good. I will wait til sweet potatoes are more in season
though, before I make them again.

We have a place called The Liar's Club. They serve sweet potato fries
with a sour cream, maple syrup and cayenne pepper dip. Deeelicious.
