This is a great and easy recipe. There are a lot of inconsistencies with these reviews for a few reasons. Two large yams are aprox 2 lbs., so a large yam may be small to one and considered 'large' to another. The orange juice potency makes a difference too. I've made them twice and had a different outcome with the same measurements. The purer the OJ, the stronger the taste. I prefer the 'concentrate'. Not overbearing. Overall, it is an idiot proof dish. It is a bit mushier than it states - but who cares? It tastes great!
