I slice them then bake them at 425 degrees F like fries...

I microwave them, then bake in oven (375) till the skin is a little crisp. I also take this part further & make twice-baked sweet 'taters -- cut open the tater take out the pulp & mix with spices, hot sauce, olive oil, etc, restuff & rebake.....

Wash em, poke a few holes in them, wrap them in tin foil & throw in the oven at 350 or 400 (sorry don't remember right now) degrees or on the grill for 45 min. I tend to eat my stuff extremely plain so I guess you can't get much more simple than this. I sometimes throw some Splenda on them.

thanks everyone! I ended up just boiling them and then mashing them with some brown sugar (did you know they have organic brn sug?) topped with marshmelow for kiara (not organic) I have decided that I LOVE non-canned yams so will try all your recipes out in the near future. Especialy that casarole Pamela...made my mouth water just reading it!
