Can I use these to make "mashed" potatoes? I'd just drain them and mash as I would white potatoes. Better yet, can anyone suggest another side that could be made -- no marshmallows, please.

@coffee drinker I just bought two large cans of yams, no idea why, but DH works out of town and I did not want to worry about fresh ones. I googled recipes using one can and there are a few. You can use them just like cooked ones, including mashing them. That is probably what I am doing tonight to go with pork chops. You probably should drain them before mashing, but using it in a casserole may not matter.

You can absolutely mash canned sweet potatoes. I drain them, add butter, brown sugar and a splash of vanilla, put into a greased baking dish, top with a streusel topping of butter, oatmeal, flour, brown sugar and nuts. Heat in 350 oven about 30 minutes.

RedTop beat me to it!🤣. This is what I have done in the past. The canned ones work great!
Edited to add: I like this as my dessert!

Do you know if we can freeze these? I bought a super large can and wont need to use them all. hate to waste them.

Yes you can freeze leftovers. I microwave a sweet potato 8-10 min, when cool peel and add to canned sweet potatoes for any recipie. It makes it seem like all fresh sweet potatoes were used.

Yes, you can freeze whatever canned sweet potatoes are left over.

@meem120 yes you can freeze, but mash before freezing. i have 4 containers of frozen mashed sweets in my freezer now. sweet potato harvest time here.
we have a field just down the street, thousands of potatoes too small for the picking machine. we gleaned about 20 lbs or so. dh keeps asking if i need more.

I like a baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. I do not care for the canned ones and baking is easy.
