Ham and Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
Sweet potatoes are seasoned with nutmeg and orange peel then layered with ham and mustard. Baked and topped with sesame seeds, this dish is sure to please family or guests.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound sweet potatoes
Grated rind of 1 orange
Freshly ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 pound cooked ham, cut in pieces about 1/8-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
1-1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
PREPARATION:
Peel the sweet potatoes and either slice them very thin or grate them. Spread half the sweet potatoes over the bottom of a shallow 1-1/2-quart casserole, sprinkle half of the grated orange rind over, and season with some pepper and nutmeg.
Ham Recipe
(If you are using country ham, you probably won't need salt; otherwise season lightly with salt). Arrange overlapping pieces of ham over the sweet potatoes, spread mustard on top, then finish with the remaining sweet potatoes and a little more of the pepper and nutmeg. Pour the milk over all. Cover lightly with foil and bake in a 375-degree F. oven 40 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, and bake another 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.

Yam Biscuits
The Author Says: "A breakfast bread from the Cajun country, delicious served hot with butter. Leftover biscuits can be wrapped in plastic, then unwrapped and reheated for 4 to 5 minutes in a hot oven." --Rima and Richard Collin
Ingredients
1 large or 2 small yams or sweet potatoes (1/2 cup baked and mashed)
2 cups flour
1 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cups vegetable shortening
1/2 cups milk
Instructions
Bake and mash the yams. Sift the dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl. Mix in the shortening and mashed yams with an electric beater (at medium-low speed) or a whisk, until they are evenly distributed and the mixture appears light and crumbly (about 2 minutes). Gradually add the milk, continuing to mix just until the ingredients are evenly dampened; do not beat.
Flour a marble pastry surface or board and turn the contents of the bowl out onto it. Knead lightly for about 30 to 45 seconds, just until a slightly moist, streaky looking dough is formed. Roll out gently to a thickness of 3/4 inch and cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter. As the biscuits are cut, place them about 1-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased heavy baking sheet. Pat the leftover pieces of dough together gently with your hands and again roll out lightly, as indicated above. Cut the remaining biscuits from the patted-together dough. If necessary, pat any leftover dough together once again, then roll out and cut, until all the dough is used up.
Bake on the middle rack of a preheated 450-degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned on top and appear flaky. Set to cool for about 5 minutes on a cake rack. Serve warm, with butter.

Yam Yeast Bread
Ingredients
2 packages dry yeast
1-1/2 cups very warm (110-115 degrees F.) water
5-6 cups unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon each allspice and mace
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup cooked yam puree (from 1-2 yams)
1 egg for glaze
Instructions
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl. Mix 5 cups flour with the seasonings and stir into the yeast mixture. Add butter, the yam puree, and additional flour, if necessary, to make a moist but kneadable dough. Knead until dough is elastic - 10 to 15 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in an electric mixer with doughhook. Then put in a buttered bowl, cover with plastic and a towel or plate, and let rise in a warm (75 to 80 degrees F.) place until doubled.
Punch dough down and let rise again about 45 minutes. Punch down and shape into one large round loaf or divide between 2 buttered standard bread pans (9 by 5 by 3 inches). Let rise once more for another 45 minutes.
Beat egg with a teaspoon of water and use as glaze for top of bread. Bake at 425 degrees F. until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when rapped with the knuckles, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack at least an hour before slicing.
Yield: 1 large round loaf or 2 smaller ones
