    If I was gonna bake one whole.. how long would it need to be in the oven?.. I usually cut mine into chips so it cooks in same time as the fish.

    Black bean vegi chili

    http://vegetarian.about.com/od/soupsstewsandchili/r/blackbeansweetpotato.htm


    Or a totally awesome one pot meal

    2 sweet potatoes cut into chunks
    1 8oz can drained water chestnuts
    1c raisins
    1 can pineapple tidbits
    boneless skinless chicken breasts
    jerk seasoning
    1/4 c onion flakes
    grated ginger
    2T worchesterwhatever sauce
    grated lime peal
    a crap ton of cumin, because I love cumin

    Mix sweet potato, water chestnuts, pineapple tidbits (without juice) and raisins together in a crock pot

    sprinkle chicken with jerk seasoning and put on top of mixture

    combine pineapple juice, onion flakes, ginger, w sauce, lime and cumin and pour over mixture

    cook on low for about 6 hours if you have a new pot, about 8 if you have an older one... or really just until the potato is soft and chicken is done.

    You have your protein and a side dish all right there!

    I think they go well with pork. Grilled pork loin chops and roasted sweet potatoes. Yum!

    Or make sweet potato fries with burgers

    There is also a delicious and super healthy sweet potato casserole dish I love at thanksgiving

    About 4 sweet potatoes, boiled until nice and soft
    1/2 stick butter, softened
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup milk
    2 Tbs. cornstarch


    Mash potatoes with fork
    Dissolve cornstarch in milk
    Mix all of the above ingredients together
    Bake 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees

    Top with the following mixture.
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 cup crushed corn flakes
    1/2 cup butter softened
    1 cup coconut
    1/2 cup chopped nuts
    Mix together and spread over potatoes.
    Bake 15-20 minutes more.
