The best tasting is baked. Scrub the skins, and pierce them (prevents exploding). Bake in a 350 F oven for an hour for medium, or 1.5 hours for a large. Peel (use and oven mitt to hold it, it's HOT), and put some butter over it.

Bake the yams, then peel and cut into thick slices. Boil some butter w/ (brown) sugar and some orange juice in a pan...reduce the temperature and let it cook until it thickens...pour the glaze over yams and add some cinnamon (if you like).
PS: For a couple of pounds of yams, you'll probably need a cup of sugar, 1/2 cup butter and as much orange juice.

Peel raw yams and put them in a pan. Cover with a salted water and boil until tender. Drain. Add sugar and butter. Mash and eat.
Yams can also be cooked without peeling. Put them in a pan, cover with salted water and boil until tender. Drain. Cool and peel. Slice and serve. Have butter, sugar, salt, pepper and cinnamon available for dipping.
The yams can also be fried like french fries. Peel and cut yams into strips. After frying sprinkle with sugar.

Scrub them under cool running water. Dry them off. Pierce w/ a fork. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or so. They are done when you can pierce them w/ a fork or knife.
Line the baking sheet w/ foil. Sometimes yams ooze a sugary, sticky syrup.

Mind you everyone is making the assumption that you have sweet potatoe as opposed to yam which is not a sweet potato. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
