    Recently, I put one through my zoodle-maker (can do the same with a grater) and put it on a waffle iron. It kind of made a sweet potato hash-brown. It was pretty tasty!

    I like to peel, dice and "fry" them with onions, add bacon/sausage/ham and put an egg on top! Yum!

    Sugar on veggies - ewwww...nasty!

    When you bake them like a jacket potato do you also eat the skin?? I love that part of regular baked potato when it crisps up but not sure sweet potato does the same?

    Those who "noodle" them...treat just like courgette??

    Thanks :-)

    I agree with you 100% that sugar on vegetables is utterly disgusting and for YEARS I believed I hated sweet potatoes because the first and only time I ate them they were drowning in brown sugar and melted marshmallows!

    And to answer your first question, YES, I always eat the skins on sweet potatoes (and any other kind of potatoes) in my opinion that's the best part! :)

    cook the sweet potato, mash and use instead of potato mash as topping on shepherd's pie - delicious!

    sweet and spicy sweet potato bites: heat oven to 425, cube potatoes in bite sized (think one inch by one inch) pieces, in a ziploc bag combine 2 tsp chili powder, a pinch of red cayenne pepper (or more than a pinch, depending on how spicy you want it), 1 tbsp packed brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cumin....add the potatoes and shake, shake, shake until the cubes are covered. Place potatoes on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes...I love these!!!

    This is the best soup I've ever made. Definitely add the chicken sausage like it says and double the curry paste because red curry paste is delicious.
