I want to make a sweet potato dish — maybe candied yams. Should I peel the sweet potatoes before cooking or are these recipes intending for me to keep the skin on? None say to peel the potato first.

Candied Yams, I would peel first. However, for mashes and other similar soft dishes, I find it best to bake them until soft and then remove the peels when cool.
