    I grew them in my garden this year because they're so much better for you and we go through large amounts. I love them, and need them for the potassium.

    Recipes:

    Sweet potato mash: prick one large or 2 small SPs and nuke them in teh microwave *about 6-8 mins depending on size). Scoop out the felsh, mash with a little olive oil and lots of black pepper.

    Wedges: Cut into 1/8ths, toss in some oil and herbs, lay flat on a tray and bake for 30-40 mins.

    Thai fish cakes: use leftover SP mash. Combine with cooked shrimp or crabmeat, fish sauce, and a finely choped chili. Form into patties and fry in olive oil, or bake in the oven.

    A REGULAR potato is also very healthy for you when prepared in a healthy manner. Don't diss the regular potato:

    I eat either a sweet potato or a regular, almost everyday to stave off the 2:30 hunger pang. I bake them on the weekend and have them ready to be nuked at any time.

    Nope. 1/2 Russian, 1/2 French Canadian with some Native American mixed in.

    My husband is 1/2 English and 25% Irish so that could have something to do with it.
