Sweet potatoes

I cut them up like french fries and toss them in a Tupperware container with about 1/2 tsp olive oil until they're all pretty covered. I then bake them at 350 degrees in the oven for a while. (Not sure how long, honestly =[) Ta da! Baked french fries.

I bake mine off, have a little cinnamon and brown sugar on them and call it good. I also love them roasted with some red onions and a little bit of salt and pepper.

You can bake them in the oven until tender. Split open and add a little butter

All of the above!!!!!

I eat them the soul food way. lol slice them up with a little butter and sugar and vanilla throw them in a skillet until tender.

sometimes i bake them just like a regular potato and then put a little bit of butter & cinnamon sugar/brown sugar on them (yum)

you can also slice them very thin (like potato chip thin) and spray with cooking spray and bake in a hot oven on a cookie sheet to make sweet potato chips (watch them for cooking time)

I also make my own sweet potato fries in the oven from time to time. peel and cut into long square sticks, spray with cooking spray or toss in olive oil and then season with whatever you like - I do paprika, garlic, a bit of cayenne pepper and some salt

I've also done twice baked sweet potatoes, there's recipes online for them, mmm

EFFIN' love sweet potatoes!!!

I wash mine & throw it in the oven until the candy runs! They are delish!! (I am impatient, so I cook mine on 500*)

You'll know they are done when you smell something that smells a little burnt (it's the "candy" that's runnning out & cooking on the pan - don't forget to spray your pan with Pam or you'll never get that candy off). You should be able to stick a fork in it & feel no resistance.

Then you peel the skin off & cut it down the middle (although I smush mine). You can eat it plain or add cinnamon. I don't add brown sugar b/c I think it's sweet enough with out, but you can if you can afford the calories. I also don't eat butter on mine, but some people do. I use the Kernal Seasonings Butter (popcorn seasoning) -it's like 5 cals & tastes great!

Enjoy!

I love them - but I don't get this adding sweet flavours such as sugar or cinnamon to them! (Maybe that's cos I'm in the UK).

Mashed - prick with a fork, zap in the microwave for about 6 mins, scoop out the flesh and mash with a little olive oil and black pepper.

Wedges - cut into quarters or 6ths depending on size, toss in a littel oil, sprinkle with sea salt and bake in the oven for 20 mins till soft.

Roast roots - mix cubed peeled sweet potatoes with similar sized chunks of squash, parsnip, carrot. Place in a large baking/ roasting tray with a drizlle of oil. Tuck some red onion pieces and sprigs of rosemary among the cubes. Roast fro abotu an hour, until tender. I like to add some cubes of haloumi or feta to this about 20 mins before serving - great vegetarian dish! Blitz any leftovers with some good stock for a hearty soup.

Mash and add them to oatmeal. Maybe include a tiny splash of vanilla or maple syrup for a little extra flavor.

But really.....how about mashed with a touch of maple syrup and cinnamon?

Or with nutmeg. Mmmmmm.

I buy the microwavable ones...

How would these be different than "regular" ones? I am pretty sure you can just put a sweet potato in the microwave, just as you would a white/russet potato.

Sweet potato fries and Shepherds Pie made with sweet potatoes.

I used to hate sweet potatoes, I started liking them when I mixed them with white potatoes and made "breakfast potatoes" and mashed potatoes, then I'd eat just the sweet potato with butter and brown sugar, the other night I had one baked and I added a tablespoon of Philadelphia Honey Nut cream cheese. I've gotten to the point where I'll eat them any way but raw. sooo delicious, especially with asparagus.

I used to hate sweet potatoes

I still do...

You poor, poor, soul. Actually, no, I'll just eat sweet potatoes on your behalf.
