Sweet potato and sugar snap pea soup is delicious.
Are the thumbs down because I didn't mention butter, sugar or cinnamon?
I make mash potatoes with them.. I use cinnamon and brown sugar and butter. then bake them with a few marshmallows on top. you can leave out the marshmallows but it is too good
just bake them in oven. spray with cooking spray and poke with fork. place them on a pan lined with foil and bake for about 30 min. serve like a baked potato. with a dollop of butter. this is my favorite way to eat them (unless its in a pie)
you could make a sweet potato puree, or even make bread, its actually pretty good.
you bake them in the oven then top with butter and brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. it is very good.
Sweet Potato Oven Fries with Avocado Dip
Recipe courtesy Ingrid Hoffman
Sweet Potato Fries:
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into 4-inch long and 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick fries
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Coarse ground rock salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Avocado Dip, recipe follows
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until the sweet potatoes are coated. Add the paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper; toss to distribute evenly.
Arrange the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes on the lower rack until the sweet potatoes soften. Transfer the pan to the upper rack of the oven and bake 10 minutes longer, until fries are crispy. Serve with Avocado Dip.
Avocado Dip:
1 avocado, ( Haas works best )
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup cream cheese
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped.
2 scallions, white and light green part only, chopped
1 lime, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place the avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, jalapeno, scallions, and lime juice into a blender or small food processor. Blend for 1 minute or until you have a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve as a dip for the Sweet Potato Oven Fries.

personally boil them 4 like 1 hour
Mash like white potatoes but use butter, brown sugar, whole whipped egg and a little heavy cream. Bake @ 350' for 30 min. From this basic mash you can go crazy depending on your taste. Additions we like: pecans, pineapple, and raisins, and cranraisins (not all at once, one at a time) you get the idea the possibilities are endless.
1 1/2 to 2 pounds cooked ham, cut in 1 to 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 1/2 pounds fresh sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled, and cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium green pepper, cut in 1 1/2-inch squares
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 small (6-ounce) can frozen pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup chili sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cooking oil
PREPARATION:
Thread cubed ham, sweet potatoes, and green pepper squares alternately on 6 skewers. Brush kabobs with Pineapple Sauce (below). Grill over medium coals for 15 to 20 minutes, brushing with sauce frequently
Just bake them (like a regular potato), then cut the top and fluff them up. Put in lots of butter, cinnamon, brown sugar (maybe even maple syrup) .... You can also use them to make potato salad and add sweet things into it (pineapple, pomegrante seeds, mango bits, Craisins). Mix some mayo with pineapple juice, cinnamon ... or mix mayo or sour cream with a little maple syrup or orange marmalade..... And you can mash them, with butter, maple syrup (or orange marmalade), brown sugar, cinnamon
How about a nice refreshing salad?
