Echo, first of all, do you really mean yams, or are
you referring to the orange-fleshed sweet potato?
Lots of people get them mixed up.

Here is an article about the difference:

My favorite way to fix either is to make "oven-
fries". Just cut them (peeled or not) into
whatever-sized sticks or wedges you want and toss
with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with coarse
salt in a large, shallow baking pan. bake at 450
degrees F until browning on the outside and tender
on the inside-- about 20 minutes-- turning gently a
couple of times. YUM! (You can also add some
spices, if you like.)
