My yummy Yam Banana Mash doesn’t have a lot of ingredients, but it packs a ton of flavor. The sweetness of the tubers made even sweeter with banana and maple syrup and brightened up with orange zest and juice. They are creamy, delicious, and have a beautiful jewel tone. A must for a special dinner! And if you end up with leftovers, don’t despair. Simply add some flour and, in just a few minutes, you will have Yam Cakes that are crispy on the outside and smooth and creamy on the inside. Whether you call them yams or sweet potatoes, I call them delicious!
