    I love fried sweet potatoes, but instead I will put them in a foil pouch on the grill with with some chopped up onion and green peppers. I drizzle just a little olive oil on them and sprinkle just a little bit of brown sugar on them for the sweetness and then season them with salt and pepper. Yummy! Now I'm crazing them! :happy:

    I don't eat a lot of sweet potatoes, but I love sweet potato fries! Just peel skin and cut into strips, coat with a little olive oil, sprinkle on a pinch of salt, and bake for about 20 mins @ 450 degrees. You'll want to turn them once during baking, and you can cook them longer if you want them crispier. I like them with low-fat sour cream :)

    This but we add chili powder and lime juice too. They are fantastic!

    Oh wow that red bean stew looks delicious!

    I most often just eat them mashed (steamed rather than boiled, the texture is better). But sometimes I'll do them pan roasted. Cut them into small cubes and place them in a skillet with about a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Stir them around a bit until the skillet gets good and hot. Then put in about 1/4 cup of water and put the lid on. Let them cook for about 10 minutes. I usually just sprinkle a little Kosher salt onto them before serving. But you could also do a spice blend. Occasionally I'll add some cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and paprika.
