    All I ever really do is bake them whole then eat them. If pressed for time, i microwave, or cut up into smaller chunks and bake (it's faster than baking whole). Yes the skin is edible. DEEEElicious. They're also good leftover and cold too, but maybe that's just me.

    Not just you, beanpole. Cold sweet potatoes are fricking delicious the next day on a salad.

    Steam them. I add a sprinkling of whatever spices I have in the cupboard (cumin, tumeric, cayenne pepper etc) and drizzle a little olive oil. Whack it into the microwave for 4 minutes in one of those steaming tray thingys and eat.

    These recipes all sound wonderful! Usually I just bake sweet potatoes in the oven wrapped in aluminum foil. Then I add a little butter and cinnamon before eating. Love them that way, but will have to try some of these ideas.

    Hello! I'm new here, but love to cook :) I always rinse my potatoes before I bake them. It is supposed to make sure that they are not mushy when I make fries.

    My favorite way to do sweet potato fries are to cut into strips, and put in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, 1-2 tsp chili powder sprinkled on top, and 1-2 tsp broken up rosemary sprigs. Lay out evenly on a no stick cookie sheet and salt to taste. Bake @ 425 for approx 15 mins then pull out and toss. Normally I take one to cool and taste to see how done they are. Depending on how thick or thin you cut your fries, times will vary. But after the initial 15 minutes and flip, put them back in and check about every 5-7 minutes until they are done to your liking. If i'm cooking other stuff and the potatoes look like they will be done before everything else. The last 5 minutes I just turn the oven off and leave them in the oven until they are ready to go on the plate. Enjoy!

    Poke holes in it and microwave on high until soft. Takes about 7 - 10 minutes.

    Make a sweet potato pie.

    I make sweet potato fries and love them. I spray the pan and cut up potatoes with cooking spray then sprinkle them with canine seasoning and bake at 475 until crisp. Also I haven't tried it but u could do rosemary mashed sweet potatoes.

    easiest and best:

    1. prick 3 times with fork.
    2. place on baking sheet
    3. bake 400 degrees for about an hour (until soft when poked with fork).

    If you have a delay feature on your oven, this is the best! takes 30 seconds to prep, throw in the oven, program the delay, eat when you get home!!!!


    serve split with some light butter, devour with a spoon. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    My favorite is so easy (and boring) but DELICIOUS! I usually buy the really big ones, so I microwave them for about 10 minutes (less if smaller, don't forget to poke them with a fork!) and then just put about 1 T. of butter and sprinkle cinnamon on top. YUM YUM!

    Roasted potatoes with pine nuts seasoned with garlic, rosemary and parsley. Serve as a side dish to accompany a poultry entree.

    Recipe Ingredients

    2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
    1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
    3 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1/2-tablespoon dried
    2 tablespooons chopped parsley
    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    Recipe Directions

    Sweet Potatoes In casserole dish, combine sweet potatoes, garlic, rosemary and olive oil. Toss to coat. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, turning occasionally.

    I pretty much do the same thing, but toss in some parmesan cheese. This works really well with butternut squash as well.

    No no, it's ok!

    Some are white inside. Some are orange. Some are even purple (these are the most special!). They're all delicious though :)
