    I Love them peeled ,cut into chunks , then sprayed with a olive oil spray, salt and pepper, then I put them on my hot cast iron skillet and roast until browned at 400* I will eat leftovers cold in my salad. After having them this way I will not eat them any other way.

    They are also great mashed.

    Wash them and wrap in foil and put in the oven. The ones left just put in a bowl or freezer bag and stick them in the freezer. Makes a great and quick side to any meal or sandwich. I sprinkle mine with cinnamon sugar.

    I like mine simple just bake them! Preheat oven to 400 degrees, wash potatoes, poke them all over with a fork, put right in the oven on the rack, take out about 45 minutes later (or until soft), and you have a delish dinner/side dish!

    Same!

    I boil them or boil then mash. Not very exciting but then I mix them with chicken and either spinach or broccoli to really make them gourmet :laugh:

    I wrap each one in aluminum foil, poke some holes in them and into a 400 degree oven. Takes about 45 min to an hour, but when they are soft, I take them out. I let them cool for a while, cut them up and measure each one and re-wrap into aluminum foil and with a marker write how many ounces each one is. I love sweet potatoes and they are very good for you.

    fries, so easy
    cut into fry size strips, toss in some olive oil, salt and paprika, bake at 425 for about 30 min, turning every 5 min or so, prerferably on parchment paper, as they burn fast, just keep an eye on them , if you can cut them and soak in ice water for 30 minutes prior to baking and dry completely.

    I slice mine and cook with a little coconut oil--it's better at high heat than EVOO. Tastes like butter, too.

    steam it. They are naturally sweet it's so satisfying if you are craving something carby or sweet

    I start by putting a cookie sheet in the oven to preheat.
    I then peel my sweet potato then slice into rounds 1/4" to 3/8" thick.
    Give the pan a light spray with Pam.
    Place the rounds on the pan.
    If I am seasoning the potatoes I give the top a light spray of Pam the add the seasonings.
    My favorites are paprika, cumin, and cayanne or on spicy nights ground habanero.
    Cook until lightly browned and don't forget to make extra plain rounds for your dogs (they love them).
