I have never made sweet potatoes before. I am not sure if I should roast them or boil them...Any suggestions?

do with them anything you would do with a white potato...they just taste better and are better for you...0

Sometimes I just pierce them with a fork, microwave on medium power for 8-10 minutes, turning it over halfway. Sprinkle liberally with salt and enjoy!0

bake them like fries, bake them like a regular potato, mash them, boil them, roast them and eat them! Add salt, sugar, cinnamon, etc.0

I hate them, I hate them buttered, sugared and covered in marshmallow. I want to like them but I don't. I was at a baby shower recently and had to do a blind taste test of baby foods and knew immediately which one was sweet potato becaue it was so terrible.
The only tolerable form I've found is Alexia Chipotle Sweet Potato Fries.0 -

They are to Vitamin A what bananas are to potassium.0 -
You can do about anything with them that you'd do with a normal potato. Just keep in mind that they are quite a bit sweeter (hence the name). I enjoy them mashed or sliced thin and fried in a pan like little chips. Enjoy!0

I love 'em baked, had them as fries at outback also, its good any way you eat it.0

They are pretty good raw. On a normal day I will boil them and make mashed sweet potato and on cheat days I will log them skin on and make fried sweet potato logs with honey mustard dip. :-)0

Lower on the glycemic index and more micronutrients.0 -
Preheat oven at 355 degrees, poke some holes in it (I put a tiny bit of butter on the skin because I eat that part, some people don't), and bake for about 50 minutes.
I do put some butter and brown sugar on the inside if I am having a bad sweet craving or I'm falling super short of my calorie goal, but I can also eat them plain.
They are so yummy!0 -

Ok - not getting at you - but in general - what is peoples obsession with cinnamon on everything??0 -
I personally like to use my mandolin to slice them very thin and then pan fry them in a little(!) olive oil with Mediterranean seasonings. Yum!0

Here is how I cook mine:
Slice them, toss with olive oil, salt and chili powder. Bake in oven on 425 for about 30 minutes or until done to your liking.0 -
