Topped with melted cheddar cheese, creamy sour cream, crispy bacon, garlic butter, and fresh green onions, this easy yam side dish is packed with savory flavor and makes the perfect addition to any dinner, holiday meal, or special occasion.
1 LB baby yams
Cooking spray
4 Tbsp butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup sour cream
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
Place baby yams in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes
Drain yams and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork or the back of a spatula, gently flatten each yam to ½ inch thickness.
Combine melted butter and minced garlic. Drizzle garlic mixture evenly over yams. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake yams for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy. Divide cheese evenly over the top of the yams. Bake for an additional minute or two until cheese is melted.
Remove yams from the oven and top with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately.
