Absolutely, They keep beautifully for up to 1 month. Just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Can I use sweet potatoes?

Sure, Just know they're slightly less sweet than true yams.

Why cover then uncover when baking?

Covering steams them tender, uncovering caramelizes the glaze. Chef's kiss perfection.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, but use two pans - overcrowding leads to soggy yams.
