From Martha Stewart Living, Feb. 2004. This note appears before the recipe Halving the yams before roasting greatly reduces the cooking time and gives them a nice golden crust. You can easily increase this recipe.
Ingredients:
2 yams or 2 sweet potatoes, about 1 lb. each
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
coarse salt, to taste

4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Bake until golden brown and very tender, 35-45 minutes.
