    Oven roasted cubes. Cut up. Spray generously with olive oil. Salt and pepper. Bake at 425 degrees until golden.
    I do this too, except I like to add some chipotle chile powder & garlic powder. YUM! They're also good done this way with some diced parsnips mixed in. YUM!

    Alexia makes a really good and relatively healthy mix of sweet potatoes, black beans, and other goodies called "Saute Sweets"...super tasty! You could probably easily recreate this on your own for cheaper!

    I like sweet potato fries (plain with a little salt or and cajun spiced). I like them baked with the skin on with a little cinnamon butter. And I have even juiced them (although if you boil them long enough that step isn't really needed)... I make sweet potato soup (use webstie "All The Cooks") for recipe ideas

    Microwave Potato Chips

    Ingredients
    medium russet potato
    parchment paper
    salt
    optional seasonings: chili powder, Creole seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, etc.
    Instructions
    Using a mandolin or v-slicer, slice one medium russet potato (peeled, if you like) as thinly as possible, taking care that all slices are the same thickness. Line the turntable tray of your microwave with parchment paper and place the potato slices on it without overlapping. Salt lightly and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings.
    Microwave at full power–watching closely–until spots of brown begin to appear, about 4-6 minutes. Turn off the microwave for 1 minute. Microwave again at full power until the slices are golden brown. (Be very careful not to over-brown or they will taste burned.) Remove from the microwave and allow to cool. Repeat until all potato slices are cooked.
    Variations
    Salt and Vinegar Chips: Dip each potato slice into cider vinegar before putting it on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt before microwaving.

    That's how we like them too! We've also cut up a couple of turnips and tossed those in with our cubed sweet potatoes. The taste of the two together is phenomenal!

    I have yet to meet a cooking method I don't like with sweet potatoes. Just plain baked, or with a bit of butter are my favorites.

    But I also love them cut into cubes and roasted. I spritz with olive oil and then toss on some mixed seasonings which usually include a teaspoon or two of dark brown sugar, a bit of salt, ginger powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of red pepper. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, stirring and turning at least once during baking.

    Diced into cubes, steamed, and then mashed is also wonderful. I find steaming gives the mashed sweet potatoes a much better texture than boiling like regular potatoes.
