Anyone got any nice recipes involving sweet potato?

Well my parents are korean and what they do in korean is you put the whole sweet potato into really hot fire (without washing or boiling the sweet potato) until it cooks





then you take off the outer burnt skin and eat the inside (careful its really hot) and its the most nicest thing ever

Peel it, chop into chunks and toss them in a little olive oil and herbs..dried will do. or, if you have it on hand, a teaspoon of pesto mixed with the same amount of olive oil. Place them in a roasting dish and roast at 180 degrees for 30 minutes or until caramelised on the outside and soft inside. These are delicious as a substitute for potatoes or served with the usual trimmings of a roast dinner, including potatoes and gravy.


Or..cut the sweet potatoes into chips and fry them for about half the time of ordinary potatoes, delicious on their own or mixed with ordinary potato chips..and with salt and vinegar or lemon juice if you like your chips that way.


Finally, cut them into long thin slices, brush with a little oil and a pinch of black pepper, then roast them on a baking tray..twenty-thirty minutes..and layer them on top of a casserole or next to stew.


Sweet potatoes are better for you than ordinary ones, so substituting them for at least some of the potatoes you would use is a great idea..some people like them steamed and mashed, not my own cup of tea but there it is..and they always go wonderfully with a cheese or a tomato sauce, fish, pork, gammon, chicken or simply a pile of mixed Mediterranean vegetables chopped up and roasted with them , that is..tomatoes,peppers, courgettes, onions, garlic, aubergine and so on.Anyone got any nice recipes involving sweet potato?
