Try making sweet potato french fries! Theyre easy to make and taste delicious! All you have to do is cut up the sweet potatoe into strips (or whatever shap you like) , grease the pan and the potatoes, then pop em' in the oven for about 20 minutes flipping them over at 10 minutes.





Hope I helped!

Bobby Flay just made some great sweet potato fries on the grill as a side dish. They had a maple syrup/dijon mustard glaze on them. But that was not a main course...





I would like sweet potato soup. Bake the sweet potatoes with some varieties of squash, then puree in the blender with a little chicken broth and cream. Then pour into your pot and heat. Season with cumin, curry, salt, pepper and whatever other spices you like.





I would also suggest baked sweet potatoes (big ones) split open with a nice hunk of pot roast (in gravy) put in the middle. Each person can dress their own as they like. We do this with regular potatoes too but they'd be extra wonderful with sweet pots.





Cut them up with some parsnips and toss with a little evoo. Bake in the oven and serve with a grilled chicken breast that's been marinated in jerk seasoning. THe hot of the jerk seasoning and sweet of the roasted root veggies are a great combination.

I am in love with sweet potatoes. Sweet potato fries are awesome sprinkles with cinnamon sugar. or sweet potato just like a potato add your butter and a little cinnamon and a touch of salt and it is awesome.

Sweet potato is great in curries. Just buy a curry paste or sauce and instead of meat - use sweet potato.
