    I like them cooked in a bit of coconut oil with sea salt, onion, paprika and then I add some sriracha. Yum!

    I agree...sweet potato burritos are one of my favorites! Here's a link to a recipe I make frequently -

    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Addictive-Sweet-Potato-Burritos/Detail.aspx

    342 calories for one burrito with the tortilla, 143 for just the filling.

    And for lunch right now I'm eating:

    380 calories for 2 fritters and 1/2 cup of bean mixture.

    I usually shred sweet potatoes to make sweet potato hashbrowns. (Stir-fry it with onions, salt, garlic powder and paprika) Crack an egg into it and you have a tasty breakfast

    I love 'em shredded as well! I like to shred them, cook them in just a little bit of coconut oil until they start to just turn brown and then add salt. Haven't tried adding an egg, but definitely will now!

    I mash them to eat with a steak or make a chaat. Like this http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/fruit-chaat-recipe-fruit-chaat/ but without the potato, mango or apple.

    Hi, I'm new here but thought I'd add my recipe:

    Sweet Potato, peeled and chopped to apx 1.5 inch chunks, add to a big ziploc type bag and add just a bit of olive oil.
    Then any spice or herb combo that strikes your fancy--get creative...sweet/sour, sweet/salt, sweet/hot or just plain sweet!

    Rosemary and salt is FANTASTIC

    Pure Maple Syrup

    Black Pepper and Lime

    Last night we had Cinnamon and Cayenne, which was hot and divine! :)


    Roast them at the bottom most rack of your oven at 425-450 F for 15 to 20 until browned, carmelized and tender. Keep an eye on them and flip them if necessary to keep from burning.

    This is for those who dig the sweet potato fries. This is the FIRST recipe that I've found that actually makes them crisp~! The key is you must soak them, and the cornstarch is so necessary.

    I miss the srirach mayo dip though.....so good...

    I prefer Japanese sweet potatoes because they taste better and have more nutrients. The Ginger People make a really delicious ginger sauce that goes quite well with the potatoes.

    I usually roast them with parsnips, carrots, red onions, and loads of seasoning! I normally do a large serving to have with whatever I'm having dinner.. (They go great with pork and apple sausages)

    I use the cold left overs for lunch with cous cous and coleslaw :)

    I also have a recipe which I'm going to try out which is basically a sweet potato and chicken curry.
