Mystery Root

My bag of discount yams came with two mystery roots - or perhaps it’s more accurate to say one and a half mystery roots.

some tubers on a table

What are these things, and how do I eat them?

    I don’t know what they are. But I would boil them until soft and try them mashed. Worth a shot.

    I was thinking of deep-frying, actually… maybe one fried, and one boiled.

    I’m trying desperately to think of a horrible pun about Yami finding her roots in a bag of Yammies. But it’s just not working quite right.

    Probably because Yammies are what you wear to bed. But it’s the thought that counts. =)

    Cooking advice from Kat - interesting! And all this time I thought she didn’t even know how to boil water!

    The latest best estimate (after seeing a pile of similar things at the grocery store) is “sweet potato, but the kind that’s not orange”. They were stir-fried, and tasted okay, but I like the orange kind of sweet potato better.
