Yams have been 3 pounds for $1 at our grocery store lately, and they've been yummy!
Question: could they be frozen, maybe by mashing them first? What else would you suggest doing with them, especially to stock up and preserve them?

1. Wow. I think I paid $1.99/lb here this weekend. I do a nice sauteed |
|
yams with dried cranberries and pecans. A little brown sugar and rum at the end to glaze. Have to let them braise in a lidded saute pan for a while to soften up.
The recipe was from Cooking Light several years ago.

2. shouldn't they keep quite a long time in a cool place? |
|
In a basket, perhaps, with newspaper between each one so they aren't touching?
But I don't see why smushing and freezing wouldn't work, too. Maybe with a touch of lemon to keep them from discoloring?

3. One of my friends cooks several at a time (baked in the oven |
|
in their jackets until done), then peels them and wraps them individually in plastic wrap and freezes. I've never tried it, but she swears it's the best way to preserve them. I usually just put mine in a cool, dry place and they will keep for a couple months. My parents used to grow sweet potatoes and they always put them in cardboard boxes and stored them in an unheated bedroom for long periods.
