More and more yams are being sold in America as yams. For the longest time they would be labeled "sweet potatoes." Actual sweet potatoes are not widely available.
So why not call this recipe "Baked Yam"? I don't know. Baked Sweet Potato just sounds better.
Servings: 1 | Serving size: one 6-ounce yam

Wash the yam well.
Place the yam on a sheet of aluminum foil and place in the oven. Set the temperature to 325°F.
Bake the potato for about 40 minutes until it is soft. You'll know because it will give slightly when squeezed.
Serve with the butter and goat cheese. Sprinkle just a tiny bit of salt over the top.
