    I cut them into 1 inch rounds, toss with olive oil and whatever spices I'm feeling like. Bake at 400 for 40 or so minutes & flip halfway though. Sooo good!

    I roast them in the oven with a little oil and sugar and a coating of Chinese 5 spice powder! Tasty!

    I like to slice them on a mandolin, so they are like chips. Then either put cinnamon and a little bit of sugar or salt and pepper. Then put it in the oven until crispy.

    1)Stick a fork in the them
    2)Pop them in the microwave for 9 mins (or cook them in the oven if trying to impress a lady).
    3)Put Tuna, mayonnaise or cottage cheese on them bad boys.
    4)Consume them with vigour.

    Don't snort them, it does not end well.

    I either bake mine and eat them plain (you can brush the outside with a mixture of olive oil and cinnamon before baking which soaks through the skin and makes it peel off easily if you don't like to eat the skin), or cook them, mash them, and mix with diced or crushed pineapple and a few pecans. I prefer using fresh raw pineapple that I cut myself rather than canned.

    Make sweet potato salad. Use the same ingredients as you would a white potato salad. Mine includes chopped onions, celery, dill relish, chopped boiled eggs, and Dijon mustard. With a LOT less mayonnaise, as sweet potatoes are creamier than white potatoes. And very filling!

    Sweet potato salad!!!

    You cook the potatoes
    You cook bacon (I use Turkey)
    You mix both with cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, cayenne, garlic, white wine vinegar and cider vinegar

    Sooooo good

    I scrub the skin well, cut in irregular 1 inch chunks, toss in grape seed oil, salt pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Spread out single layer on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 20-30 mins at 400 degrees. Toss once or twice during so all sides brown. This is amazing! My favorite way to eat sweet pots. Even my family of sweet pot haters like these.

    Slice the ends off, then cut them into 1" slices. Rub a little olive oil on both sides of each slice. Mill some fresh ground black pepper on both sides (Emeril says that you've got to make both sides taste good). Sometimes I'll sprinkle some cinnamon on both sides. Place in microwave until fork tender (about eight minutes). Let cool a bit, then enjoy...they're like candy!

    Um, IN for the "candy" option! Will definitely be trying this, thanks!

    Sweet potato fries in the oven for around 20 minutes. And instead of rubbing them in oil beforehand, I just spray it with the olive oil spray! They taste so good.

    Since it is so carb-heavy I don't do it often, but I like a baked sweet potato with butter, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and honey or pure maple syrup.

    I also like sweet potato fries, salted, dipped in honey or Boss Sauce.

    Sweet potato hash with sausage, onions, and topped with fried eggs is another one I like.

    I usually slow bake them and then eat them during hikes or as a regular snack.
