    I usually steam it in the skin (in the micro), scrape out the pulp and mash it with minced garlic, sea salt and pepper. I also don't like them "sweet".

    I like my sweet potatoes baked with sour cream.

    But if you don't like them there's no reason you need to try to like them.

    I know but I am a bit weird lol

    If you don't like sweet potato because it's too sweet can't you just eat normal potatoes? I'm a bit confused by this question. If you don't like a certain food, don't eat it :flowerforyou:

    Hi

    I want to like sweet potato but well it's too sweet :(

    Is there anything I can cook it with to see if I can make it less sweet tasting?


    Thanks
    If you don't like it don't eat it. There are plenty of other foods out there.

    I peel, slice and coat them in OO, place in a dish, cover with a wet paper towel and nuke for a couple of minutes. Then sprinkle with Weber's Smokey Mesquite and cook on the grill for a couple of minutes. We have a George Foreman, so we do it right on the counter top. I have them a couple of times a week. Very good.

    I have had similar feelings about sweet potatoes, in general. However, in addition to liking them fried with seasoning, I do like them baked in the microwave and then salted and mixed with a bit of lemon juice. I've read it also works with orange juice. I think the key though is mix with something sour as some others have mentioned. I've thought about trying it with amchoor powder but haven't gotten around to it yet.
