Preparation

1. In a frying pan, heat all but 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. In batches, fry yam slices on each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add onions to the pan; add sugar and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar, water and pepper. Scrape pan well to combine the browned bits; continue to simmer for 5 minutes until mixture is reduced by half. Remove from heat.
2. Use remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease a shallow baking dish. Carefully fan yam slices in rows. Drizzle vinegar and onion mixture evenly over yams. The dish can be covered and refrigerated for one day.
3. Before serving, warm the yams in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and serve.
