That's why I made mashed yams this year and no white spuds at all.
I served the yams the same way. Mashed with some shredded jack cheese,
butter and pepper.

No added sweetening! I don't think they need it and neither does dad. I
never could wrap my brain around the serving of yams with marshmallows!
<shudder> I know a lot of people like that dish but just thinking about
it makes my teeth hurt!
