2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: A little cinnamon mixed with sugar to sprinkle on top

Tips and Variations

There are several different types of sweet potatoes that are available, and they may be also labeled as “yams.” You can use any variety (or a mix of varieties) in this dish. Note that the orange-fleshed varieties generally are sweeter and take a little longer to cook.
Chopped, leftover sweet potatoes work great in scrambled eggs or omelets, soups or stews, pizza, and stir-fried greens.
