Preparation
- Step 1
In a frying pan, heat all but 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. In batches, fry yam slices on each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add onions to the pan; add sugar and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar, water and pepper. Scrape pan well to combine the browned bits; continue to simmer for 5 minutes until mixture is reduced by half. Remove from heat.
- Step 2
Use remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease a shallow baking dish. Carefully fan yam slices in rows. Drizzle vinegar and onion mixture evenly over yams. The dish can be covered and refrigerated for one day.
- Step 3
Before serving, warm the yams in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

Eh. Go for a balsamic reduction to add at the end. Perhaps this would be better with garnet yams...I only had local Hawaii sweet potatoes, which were too dry, so I reheated with water added to steam.
