Though I enjoyed your post, I think you spent more time on it than Mark did his sweet potato stir fry.

@epolatty I'm sure it's fine. I got the ultra cheap ($29.99) Black and Decker from Target and I shredded 12 sweet potatoes just yesterday for the company Thanksgiving potluck. I actually made this exact recipe, except I went ahead and minced the garlic.

I hope I could buy my self a food processor, I would prefer using it than using the manual hand grating of sweet potatoes, it sometimes hurts my fingers.

I want to get a food processor that can handle that without spending more than I need to. Some of the mini ones like Cuisinart DLC-4CHB - it's a best seller on Amazon for $50 but I'm worried it wouldn't be able to handle the potato. Anybody recommend any particular models?

@absref71 Yams are from Africa and much larger than sweet potatoes. Also they tend to be white or purple as opposed to orange.

@fleebenworth google images, have a look

@absref71 you are confused

nice simple recipe, thanks for posting! I sent a video of a simple sweet potato dish I make that's healthy & vegan. Also - yams generally aren't sold in North America, although the signs always call the orange sweet potatoes yams - these are for sure sweet potatoes! ;)

Mm... I love sweet potatoes! Nice recipe, although the amount of butter would make it a tad too rich for my liking.

And with regards to the yam-or-sweet potato confusion amongst some of the responders: the internet is at your fingertips. Go eradicate your ignorance!! This tuber with the yellow-orange flesh is a sweet potato, and NOT a yam.
