Gjelina is a restaurant in Venice, California, that serves some of the most delicious food in the city. I’ve dined on its salads, pizzas, and pasta. This yam dish is simply spectacular in its simplicity and flavor.
You need to know that there are two distinctly different sweet potato varieties. The sweet potato has a light brown-yellow skin and pale flesh interior that is less sweet and much drier than its yam cousin. The moist sweet potato variety, a reddish-brown color, is often labeled as a yam. You can also find sweet purple potatoes that work beautifully in this recipe. Make sure to use moist sweet potatoes for this recipe.
