What are your favorite ways to cook sweet taters?

This is new for me to like sweet potatoes. I don't want anything that has sugar in it.
I'm especially interested in sweet potato fries. I've tried making it once, too mushy.

I've made them for fries. I put a little olive oil on a cookie sheet, cut the sweet potato into fry shapes. And broil them in the oven. My favorite way to eat them, though, is baked with butter.

Baked then if have leftovers make into steak fries baked in oven.

I make oven fries with them. I coat them in olive oil, salt and pepper then bake them in a hot oven to get some color on them. You might have to fry them in oil to get them crispy

I also do them the same way but I cut them in chunks instead of fry shape. They taste good just the way they are with just salt and pepper to me. Same as just as a "baked potato". I do add some butter to them then like a regular baked potato.

I do want to try them as scalloped potatoes to see how it turns out. I think that might be good. I don't think I'd like them as au gratin ( with cheese). Doesn't sound good to me lol

Baked whole
Pies
candies
poan
fries
raw is the least like, too milky,but it will make the hunger pain go away.

I loved them baked and drizzled with butter....love sweet potato pie as well

Baked and fries along with sweet potato pie. The scalloped sounds interesting.

Isn't there some herb or spice, something extra to put to them, so they're not so...sweet and mushy and strong flavored? There's got to be something else. Maybe with something Jamaican, like coconut and limes. Maybe...and add ginger and cardamom.

My favorite is baked with lots of butter, but, we also under bake them and then fry them in olive oil. They are very good that way.

I don't like sweet potato pie, but I like sweet potatoes.

I add them to my homemade chili for added filler. My boys ate a lot.

I slice them up and add to my homemade dog food. They love them! I like them any way I can use them. I have recipes for them in veggie tacos and veggie burgers, but haven't made them yet as am still staying away from carbs except for the smoothies.

I am going to try making fries in the air fryer if my wife hasn't already baked the sweet potatoes.
I made them and I'm not impressed with air fried sweet potatoes.
Maybe I need to look for a recipe.

Our dogs just ate our leftover sweet potato yesterday. They do love them and ours had butter and a bit of brown sugar on them too.

Cinnamon or Nutmeg. Just don't overcook them.

Sweet potatoes also have lots of estrogen for us women in them.
And full of other vitamins so hope you can learn to like them Patch.
