Fried glazed yams, anyone?!

Question: Years ago, my mother in law would fix yams in the skillet. She would slice them, and put sugar and some other spices on them, I think maybe using an oil to fry. Are they precooked or not? When they were finished there was a crunchy sweet glaze on them. They were sliced like you would slice fried potatoes, maybe a little bit thicker. I need to know how to make the recipe. Anyone ever fixed yams this way, that can help me?

You would probably slice them somewhat thin so that they cook all the way through. I think I know what you're talking about, basically the brown sugar topping turns into a glaze and makes for a crispy topping. Don't forget the butter!
