Love em too!!

I was thinking about this last night tooooo. I really want to make a healthy sweet potato fry cause they are my favorite.
I think I'm going to bake them for 10-15 minutes then keep an eye on them while I broil them for a few minutes ( just to get a super crispy outside)
salt and a little bit of olive oil before hand. Not forgetting to keep the skins on of course!

i make sweet potato hash: peel and large dice 2 sweet potatoes and one onion, toss with 1T of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. bake in the oven at 400 for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway to keep from sticking.

it's tasty as a side dish, or i top it with a sunny side up egg!

I really like this curried sweet potato shepherd's pie recipe:

A lighter Thanksgiving version for the crockpot. Betty Crocker .... I think.

Peel & cube sweet potatoes. Place in a crockpot. Add unsweetened applesauce mixed with brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon.
Cook on high (4 hours). Serve with a slotted spoon - most of the sauce drains off.

Love 'em too! I mash mine sometimes. Boil or bake, mash 'em & add a little honey & cinnamon.

I love to make a FANTASTIC white wine chicken soup (I call it "Day After Soup") out of leftover rotisserie or roasted chicken. I use cubed sweet potatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic, and carrots. If you're interested in the recipe, let me know...

I slice mine into about inch slices and steam in a veggie steamer. Eat as is or with a bit of sugar or sweetener mashed in as I eat.

I bake mine whole in the microwave and eat the same as steamed, either as is or with a bit of sweetner. If I have some healthy choice butter I put that on it, too, sometimes.

Before I was eating healthir I sliced and fried and sprinkled sugar on but I've not fried since starting but I'm sure there's a way.

This is one of my favorites:

Sweet Potato with Black Beans and Salsa (I found this recipe on the internet but don't have the author's name, sorry).

peel and cube sweet potatoes (about 1/2-1 inch cubes)
toss with a little olive oil
sprinkle with cumin seeds and some salt

put this into a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes @ 350.

after 20 minutes remove and add chopped onion and green pepper, toss again and put back into the oven for 30 more minutes.

then add one can of drained black beans and a cup of salsa, toss and put back into oven (turned off) for a few minutes to heat through.

serve: in a bowl over brown rice or in a whole wheat tortilla. (optional: add a little sour cream and/or shredded cheese or add tofutti sour cream for a vegan).
