Sweet Potato Recipes

I have a newfound love for sweet potatoes. Not only am I am mesmerized by their burnt orange color and their sweet taste, I am getting bored with traditional "baked sweet potato" type side dishes (ie fries, oven baked potato) and even mashed. I am in the only one in my family that will eat them. Anyone have any good recipes to utilize this beautiful food?

    I love them too! I wish my husband and kids liked them as much as I do. I've made these before and while they didn't turn out as pretty, they were so incredibly delicious. http://dlynz.com/?p=2353

    Slice one into wedges, coat with egg yolk and spices of your choice then bake it in the oven. Bam - fries.

    Use the egg white to coat some kinda meat (chicken, salmon, etc) and wrinkle nuts on it. One of my favourite meals. :D

    Since I follow South Beach guidelines I often eat sweet potatoes. I have several recipes on my Pinterest page: www.pinterest.com/issypal

    Sweet potato pancakes - Shred a sweet potato, beat an egg or two, pan fry in coconut oil about 2-3 minutes per side. Yummy with or without a bit of maple syrup.
