Answer:
Yams are sweet potatoes. Yes, it is probably most common for them to be consumed on Thanksgiving. Typically, they are served as a side dish (either mashed or cut up and made with butter, sugar, brown sugar, cinammon, and flour) or as a pie.
sweet potato. You can stew them, roast them or mash them. Yes they do eat them a lot in the States and not only on Thanksgiving, and especially in the South.

The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), often called a yam in the United States, is a crop plant whose large, starchy, sweet tasting tuberous roots are an important root vegetable. The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens. The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato (Solanum tuberosum). They are even more distantly related to the true yam (Dioscorea species).
The genus Ipomoea that contains the sweet potato also includes several garden flowers called morning glories, though that term is not usually extended to Ipomoea batatas. Some cultivars of Ipomoea batatas are grown as houseplants.
The plant is a herbaceous perennial vine, bearing alternate heart-shaped or palmately lobed leaves and medium-sized sympetalous flowers. The edible tuberous root is long and tapered, with a smooth skin whose color ranges between red, purple, brown and white. Its flesh ranges between white, yellow, orange, and purple.
Yam is a vegetable, delicious as well, cook it like you would a potato. a lot of Jamaican people use them, you can roast, boil, chip, crisp them, very nice in my opinion. try them.
It's one of what nutritionists call a " miracle food" because they have so many nutrients and so much fiber. Along with black eye peas, yams are a staple here in the South. They are also called sweet potatoes. Many southerners make sweet potato pie. Yum !!!
they are sweet potatoes. And yes we do
They are sweet potatoes. Yep people over here serve them with our turkeys. They also like to add brown sugar and marshmallows to them too. I'm almost 30 and the sight of that mess still makes me cringe.

sweet potatoes
yams are sweet potatoes cut in cubes and baked with brown sugar
many add marshmallows on top as well
this is one of many side dishes known to accompany Thanksgiving meals but, there are no set menus for that days meal
I think a yam is only called a yam in certain parts of the U.S.
Not only do they bake them but also make pies out of them that take like pumpkin pie. And as of late, they're being fried like french fries and even being mixed in with potatoes for a variety.
I don't think actual yams grow in the US. They grow in Africa and Asia. But the American sweet potato is similar. So basically people call sweet potatoes yams, even though they are two different vegetables. The flesh of a yam is white or pale yellow were as sweet potatoes are bright orange.
