Anyone have a good recipe or two?

I am a bit burned out on my typical slice/dice and bake.

    Got a not so healthy one.
    Slice them (about 5/7mm thick), fry them in a frying pan with oil, and coat them with sugar. My nan use to make them and they are delicious but not healthy at all

    Posting to see what everyone else says! I don't really know what to do apart from bake them.

    Usually I top with crumbled feta, finely chopped red chili, coriander and a dressing made with whole grain mustard. Quick and easy dinner and the flavours are amazing together (hot, salty, herby with the sticky sweet potato).

    Mashed. Just like you do potatoes.
    Cubed and cooked, but not too soft. Add chopped banana, sultanas, and shredded coconut. Dress with a sweetened French vinegarette. Yummy.

    mashed with a normal potato makes great topping for shepherd's pie
    melt some coconut oil in oven, throw in some chilli flakes and diced sweet pots and bake --- throw on salads and everything

    Boil and mash up with carrots and layer it over tomato paste, turkey mince, peas, kidney beans and chilli powder. Cook in the oven to crisp the top. Nom nom nom...

    Baked, like baked potatoes, use the same sort of toppings (sour cream, grated cheese etc)

    Use leftover mashed SP to make Thai fish or crab cakes.

    http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/96608/. This recipe is wonderful: Sweet potato, spinach & lentil curry! Imake this with mini flatbreads (palm size to control my bread desires!) and have leftovers for lunchboxes (with leftover flatbread or sometimes on its own :0) )

    Sweet potato curry and its also good in Tagine, the sweetness goes perfectly with the spices and fruits! http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef-recipes/beef-tagine this one is good, I am vegetarian so used a bunch of sweet potato, carrots and turnip instead of the beef. I like quinoa or couscous with it, but you can have it with rice or bread etc too!

    I like to roast them in their skins or make soup with them.

    I use Nigella's squash and sp soup - if you omit the wine and buttermilk cheese drizzle it is really healthy too

    A diner near me has "certified heart healthy" sweet potato pancakes. They are just like regular pancakes except a different color.

    I mash one, add egg white & scoop of protein powder, cook like a pancake on a skillet sprayed w/Pam, medium heat. Sprinkle w/Splenda brown sugar, and eat w/ a side of clementine oranges. Oh, I add in some pumpkin pie spice to the batter too.

    This sounds so good! I have been wanting to try sweet potato fries.
