I'm allergic to coconut. Is there a substitute I can use?

This recipe seems a bit complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual mashed potato recipe.

The yams were a little undercooked for my liking. I would recommend baking them for an extra 10-15 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
