Bake in the oven like a white potatoe until tender. Then scoop out the insides add a little butter or margarine maybe some brown sugar if you like. Try without the sugar first though they are really sweet.

You can even microwave them until soft. Baked is better though.

I love both...mostly cook sweet potatos though....

I love them baked and cut open when done and mash the insides then a either dab of butter or even a spray of butter spray and sprinkle of cinnamon ....yum!

mashed are great too, w/ a bit of nonfat milk and butter, cinnamon or nutmeg...really good!

I also like them roasted in a pyrex I will cut them up skins and all, cut up a few onions, spray w/ olive oil to coat and mix up and sprinkle w/ parsley.....cover w/ tinfoil for about 20 mins and then uncover and let get brown turning carefully....its really good! If you like mushrooms quarter up some and add those too they go really well even though they sound like they wouldn't....

I have some really fattening recipes for pies and sweet potato bake...but I'll stop right there lol...

hugs!

Peel one, cut it into french fries, toss the "fries" with a 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil and salt and lay them out on a baking sheet in one layer. Bake them at about 400 until ready. I like mine crispy, but any way you do it, they're divine!

MMMMMMMMMMM :happy:

I microwave mine so I can eat them as soon as possible, I LOVE them!!!! A little Smart Balance spread and I'm good to go. If I really want to make it fancy, I chop it up, and sprinkle splenda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little milk and mush it all.

I cut them in to thin slices and drizzle with a little olive oil then sprinkle with cinnamon. Then bake at 400 until golden. YUM!
