    Sweet potato and butternut squash soup. I love it.

    Sweet Potato, butternut squash, vegetable stock, low fat creme fraiche and ground cinnamon to taste. It is lovely (and low calorie)

    Use as you do with a regular potato... though cut the cooking time down a bit. French fries; baked; mashed; stews etc... the list is ENDLESS... search a recipe site and get ideas....

    Wrap in Reynolds Wrap and stab about a dozen times with fork...throw in microwave for 5-8 minutes depending on potato size.

    Allow to cool, eat plain.

    That's how I do it.


    Can we assume you mean plastic wrap??? Not foil obviously :)

    I prefer to boil them and then top with a little butter and homemade canned peach jam. OHH so yummy. Plus, I'm a lazy cook and this is easy.

    I cut up some last night like fries, put them in a baggy with some olive oil and salt. Shook, then poured a cookie sheet and baked for about 20 minutes at 425. They were super yummy.
    That sounds great, and easy.

    I love sweet potatoes! I roast mine in the oven with fresh rosemary, garlic, fresh black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

    Cut your sweet potatoes into chunks (about 2")
    Drizzle olive oil over them (just to lightly coat)
    Sprinkle on a pinch of fresh black pepper,
    Add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and 3 or 4 cloves of garlic.

    Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes.

    Cut into "chips" or "fries" spray with a little Olive Oil spritz, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.
    Delicious!

    I cut my sweet potato in slices and I dice lots of garlic and pour 1 tbsp of olive oil then stringy them with fresh parley and fresh basil leaves non dry. Right now i am avoiding starchy carbs during my weight cut for many reasons.

    Hi Everyone,

    I never really used sweet potatoes before, so I would appreciate any advice or recipes you wish to share with me :)

    Thanks Everyone :)

    After baking one, I open it up and sprinkle pumpkin spice on it... makes a great little dessert :happy:

    I bake them and then add one of the flavored laughing cow wedges to it. It makes it cheesy and delicious!
