Looking for some different ways to prepare these. Any ideas. I usually do sweet potato fries.

Mashed sweet potatoes with a little bit of milk, butter (or butter substitute) and a tiny bit of brown sugar or honey. Yummmm.

i like to bake sweet potatoes and then put a little butter, sometimes i also add a little splenda and cinnomon or pumpkin pie spice.

Boy! That sounds awesome! I am going to have to try that!

I just eat them the same way yould would a regular baked potato!

Sweet potato latkes--much more bang for your buck than potato latkes. You can also mix in other vegetables such as zucchini, carrot/parsnip, rutabaga/turnip, squash, etc.

Grate vegetables on large hole grater. If vegetables are wet (zucchini), let drain in colander. For each cup of grated vegetable, sprinkle with 1 T flour and add one beaten egg white (you may need to adjust flour/egg white mixture depending on how wet/dry the vegetables are). Add pepper, fresh nutmeg, and salt to taste (I am watching salt, so I don't add salt). Then use a fork to gently mix it all together.

On a hot non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron pan, whipe the pan with a paper towel or napkin that has been dipped in oil. Add two to three tablespoons of mix (I just fork some out) and then flatten into 3" disk with back of spoon or fork. Let cook until done on one side, flip with spatula and cook on other side. Transfer to paper-towel lined plate and keep warm in oven.

To serve, depending on your calorie count, you can either top with dollop of sour cream or low-fat yogurt or applesauce.

You can also bake these by lightly oiling a cookie sheet and spooning/flattening mix. Then put in a 350 to 400 degree oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. You'll need to cook longer and lower if you make thicker latkes. You don't want the potato to be raw and crunchy. Not nearly as comforting.

I am a fan of the sweet potato fries. From one of the recipes I got the idea to just pierce and microwave one for about five minutes. Then I use a little spray butter and some chili powder. It sounds kind of strange, but it is one of my new loves.

One of the easiest ways is to just wash them and throw them in the microwave. I usually start with 4-5 minutes (depending on the size of the sweet potato) and then flip them over and heat for another couple of minutes. It's a really fast "baked" sweet potato. Great to eat with some sort of butter (I use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light), plenty of cinnamon, and some splenda.

You can also do this with a regular potato, but I usually eat those with some cooked broccoli and either shredded cheese or a 2% cheese slice.

Yum!

All great ideas! Thanks.

Microwave or bake, scoop out insides, mash and mix with diced onions, black beans, chopped fresh cilantro. Spread onto half of a low calorie tortilla with a little cheese, fold over to make a quesadilla, and bake until warm and crispy (350-400 for about 10 min?). Serve with salsa.....YUM!

My new favorite way to cook sweet potatoes is to peel and cube them, brush them with a little butter and lightly sprinkle a garlic herb blend on them and bake them in the oven. I think I use 350 degrees probably about 20-25 minutes. I just check them and take them out when fork tender. I now like this way better than with sugars. Super delicious

Monday night I made 'sweet potato hash'
sauted pealed and diced S. Potato when is was time to flip I added
a diced onion and Granny smith apple cooked until everthing was
carmelized and yummy.

This went really well with the turkey breast my hubby smoked.

I love getting inventive with my vegies.

I just made a sweet potato soup that was really good.

It's quite simple. In a large pot add:

4 (14oz) reduced sodium chicken broth
5-6 sweet potatoes (diced)
1 medium yellow onion (diced)

boil until tender. Blend soup until smooth. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt to your liking.

How do you make sweet potato fries???

Just an FYI for all of you microwavers out there. Anything you microwave, even if just heating something up, it kills a great majority of the nutrients in it. It may take longer or just more inconvenient, but try to bake instead of microwave.
