BTW, why yams and not potatoes? As far as I can see from Wikipedia, potatoes and yams (and sweet potatoes and oxalis tuberosa, also called yams) are pretty much interchangeable from the point of view of preparation and nutrition.
I have heard from a number of places that sweet potatoes are healthier than normal potatoes, and I find them much tastier, but don’t remember many of the details besides them being rich in beta-carotene. (I find sweet potatoes pleasant raw, whereas normal potatoes are much less so.)
I’ll be interested to see the eventual result.
