INGREDIENTS :

1.5 KG yellow yam
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional)

1. 1. Boil a pot with water
   2. Peel the skin of the yam. Cut up the yam into medium size pieces. Keep the pieces of yam in a container with cold water. This will prevent the outside of the yam from turning “red”.

   5. Once the water in the pot is boiling place the pieces of yam in it. Cover the pot but be sure to keep an eye on it. The water sometimes boils over. You may have to lift the pot cover occasionally to release the pressure.
   6. Cook for approximately 30 minutes on medium-high.
