RE: No-potato fries, and NZ vs US sweet potatoes
What I do when I do roast potatoes or roast sweet potato wedges is nuke them in the microwave for 1/3rd of the usual cooking time... then roast them. Gives a crispy outside, mash inside finish... in half the cooking time..not sure that would work for yams tho.
That sounds like an excellent technique.
Being rather a purist, if that's the right word in this case, I went from being an early adopter of microwaves to being wary of them. There is some evidence of them damaging proteins, but maybe they are ok for carbs. Ok for you healthy buggers*, who don't have to be too particular, anyway ;-)
* bearing in mind that bugger is a term almost of affection here
