Ingredients

• 3 large yams (about 4 pounds)
• 1/2 cup water
• 6 tablespoons honey
• Juice of 4 limes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Sour cream, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Wash the yams and place in a baking dish with the water. Bake until the potatoes are soft and the skins puffy, about 1 1/2 hours. Set aside to cool slightly (leave the oven on).
3. Peel the yams and place in a medium baking dish. Add the honey, butter, lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir and mash well with a potato masher. Cover with aluminum foil and return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through. Sprinkle the top with sour and serve hot.
