If you’re not able to tell the difference between a sweet potato and yam, look at the skin. Yam skin resembles tree bark whereas sweet potato skin is more reddish-brown in color. Serve this delicious side dish with a piece of fish and some collard greens. Any leftovers can be repurposed as a great mash or dessert mousse.
