Paprika on a yam? Yeah, yams are unbelievably sweet when exposed to direct fire, like candy sweet. But I'm talking about the Garnet and Japanese varieties, this might just be a less cultivated specie he found locally and just went with it.

Paprika on everything

But I was referring to plain potatoes, I've never had a real Yam, my understanding is that sweet potatoes are not the same thing.

No, they aren’t. Sweet potatoes are extremely flavorful when roasted by themselves, yams not so much.

Like the other reply to this comment, I think you're referring to sweet potatoes. As an aside, you're right about baked/roasted sweet potatoes. Their GI when baked is in the mid 90s!
