Sounds odd but We have just discovered these and love them. Question - can they be made in a crockpot or on top,of the stove - trying to save oven space and every recipe so far is for the oven. Being from London never made these before but really love them - ate them with friends at Thanksgiving. Many thanks fit any help.

Yes. I boil my yams until tender. Then I let them cool. Peel them, cut them in quarters. Melt butter in a skillet and toss in some brown sugar. Lay the yams in the skillet with the butter and brown sugar mixture and fry them up. Not figure flattering, but oh so delicious.

I yam what I yam. Yum.

These are part of our New Years Day meal. I do an herb rubbed pork roast, kahlua candied yams, collards, blackeyed peas, and corn bread.

Kahlua Candied Yams

One small sweet potato per person.

Wash sweet potatoes.

Cover with water and cook just until a fork will barely go in.

Peel, cut into one inch rounds and drop into prepared syrup.

*Sauce for five sweet potatoes.

In large skillet melt one stick butter.

Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and one cup kahlua.

(You can add 1/2 cup drained pineapple bits or coursly cut pecans. You may have to increase the syrup)

Simmer on low fifteen minutes to form a syrup.

Simmer 20 minutes with potato rounds, spooning syrup over frequently.

I have a white oven mit that I clorox, and I peel and cut the potatoes in my hand and let them fall in the warm syrup.

Gets better the next day. Can be warmed in the microwave.

Alcohol cooks out.
