: I just made my first yam cakes.
: They're quite good, but I have a
: question - are they supposed to be
: soft-ish?
: I thought they would come out dryer,
: more chewy, but they are pretty
: soft.

: I used 4 cooked yams, an equal amount
: of oatmeal (the more finely cut
: kind),
: some oil and some water (didn't
: measure - just added a bit, then a
: bit more).
: If I use less water next time, I
: wonder if the oatmeal will get
: properly baked
: or if it will stay a bit undone (I
: need my food to be well-done.)

: Thoughts?

: Sarit

If you would like it to be less mushy, stir more, and lose some oil as well as water.
