This recipe is missing some important ingredients. It doesn't say what kind of yams to use or how much butter to add.

I followed the recipe exactly and my yams turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These yams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I'll probably cut back on the sugar next time.
