    There's a variety of sweet potato that's a little less sweet, it's called a potato...

    Really, though, baked slices of sweet potato seasoned with s+p/cumin/garlic powder. The best.

    Whole Foods has a spicy sweet potato salad in their deli. I detest sweet potatoes, but somehow I find this potato salad delicious and irresistible. I think it's because the potatoes are mostly raw, and the spicy flavor cancels out that icky sweetness.

    I'm guessing you were asking because people like them at Thanksgiving and you wanted a way to make them that isn't just a gross fat-and-sugar laden souffle with either nuts or marshmallows on top. I feel you. But I do like sweet potatoes, myself.

    When I'm the one cooking for T-day, I peel them, cut them into big chunks, and bake them in pineapple juice (or pine-orange) with pumpkin pie spice and a little dark molasses and butter (next time I'll be trying it with coconut oil). I cover them first with foil for a while, baste after a bit, and then take the foil off so the liquid cooks down and they get toasty brown. They're sweet and tangy without being a rich dessert masquerading as a "vegetable".

    But I also like them for breakfast just baked in the skin and then split open with a nice pineapple or peach greek yogurt tossed over it and some cinnamon. Sweet potato cornbread is great (pinch of cayenne), and I like the baked chili fries but I never make them, more trouble than it's worth for me.

    Overall I prefer pumpkin and winter squash to sweet potato. SPs seem to be indigestible for a lot of people, so it may be that your taste buds are telling you that your stomach Does Not Want.
