For a little twist on an old favorite we bake our yams like potatoes. Be sure to either wrap them in foil or put them on a baking pan because the juices will drip and caramelize on your oven (not a fun mess to clean.) I like mine with a little butter, DH likes them plain, and DD likes to cut them in half length wise, sprinkle with brown sugar, add a few marshmallows and broil. A nice plus with this is you can fit them along side all the other dishes in the oven or do them early in the day and microwave them before serving (just like a potato.)
Yams have a sweeter flavor than Sweet Potatoes so it's your choice which to use.
After shredding the sweet potatoes squeeze out the excess moisture and place in a large bowl. Add eggs, green onions, flour and salt and mix well.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Spoon heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture in to the skillet and flatten with a spatula.
Cook until golden, about 4 minutes, turn and cook until golden on other side. Remove and drain on clean cloth towel or paper towel and repeat the same with remaining batter.

Here's a nice sweet potato or yam variation for Thanksgiving and Christmas :-)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix cranberry sauce and juices in a bowl. Mix corn syrup and melted butter in another bowl.
Place one layer of sweet potatoes or yams in a large shallow baking dish. Spoon a small amount of the cranberry mixture over the sweet potatoes or yams and spoon some of the butter mixture over the cranberry mixture.
Continue the same layering process so that even the last layer is topped with the two mixtures.
Bake covered for 20 minutes and then bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered.
