How do you cook name root?

To cook yam root, first peel and chop it into even-sized pieces. Boil the chunks in salted water for about 20-30 minutes or until they're tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the water, then you can MASH the yam, fry it, or serve it as is, depending on your preference. Enjoy it as a side dish or incorporate it into various recipes.
