A hate for the Sweet Potato

alhumphreys

They make me turn green !! Anyway to make a sweet potato taste good ? Maybe a little less sweet and a little more spicy ?

Oven-baked sweet potato fries, seasoned with salt and ground chipotle or cayenne, with a dip of either mayo/aioli flavored with lime and a little more hot ground or fresh hot pepper, or ketchup kicked up with hot sauce.

Boiled or baked until barely tender (so it won't fall apart) and used in a chili, stew, or curry.

Cooked, mashed, and thinned with broth or milk to make a soup; could include apples and/or onions. Flavor with curry spices, or with ginger/nutmeg/cinnamon/allspice.

I hate them too. I use them in the follow ways:

1. Oven fries or chips
2. Peel & boil, then mash & add to crock pot soups, chili, sloppy joes, etc
3. Peel/boil/mash & add to baked goods - muffins, cakes, etc (ie: cran-walnut-sweet potato breakfast muffins)

Why are you eating something you hate?

I like making oven baked fries. Putting lots of cayenne pepper and peri-spice on it. But if you really don't like it, you could always save your calories for something you do like.

Life's too short to eat food that you hate. What nutrients are you eating it for? Try to find other foods that contain those nutrients, ones that you like, and eat them instead.

I hate sweet potatoes, but my husband loves them...so I compromise.

Although it doesn't add spice, it doesn't necessarily bring out the sweetness either.
I slice the potato so they're 1/4"-1?2" thick circles and bake them in the oven until tender.
While they're cooking, I make a mayo based tuna salad, with mustard, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder added.
Once the potatoes are tender, I put the tuna salad on top of them, and then some cheese on top of it all.
Put it back in the oven until the cheese is melted...even starting to get chewy if you like that.

Crushed red pepper would be good on it, but even like that its pretty good!

Just don't eat them?

↑↑↑This. If you try to alter something you hate, it will just end up being awful for the majority of the population who actually likes them. If something takes more than butter, salt and pepper to make it tolerable, just don't eat it.

WHAT? Just bake/roast them in skin for 45~60 minutes till they ooze with sweet sugary juices, then, EAT THEM, just like that..

They're really the sweetest thing I probably eat, chocolate & ice cream comes first though
