Cut them up into strips, brush with olive oil, and bake them in the oven just like fries!





How about mashed potatoes too, substitute the sweet potato with the regular. It's mainly just a difference in taste and texture, but still equally good in their own ways.
thing i know is to bake like you would any other potato...then and lots of butta and sprinkle with cinnamon(i like lots of it) some folks also add sugar to thier cinnamon....try ....enjoy
Try throwing them on the grill. It will add a great flavor to them. You can slice them up and put them in foil packets with other seasonings and flavors, like onion and thyme. It's fun, and really easy to clean.
Sweet potatoes and apples. Just get 4 or 5 sweet potatoes and boil them until you can stick a fork in them and they are soft. Run cold water over the sweet potatoes and then the skins will basically fall off. Be sure to get all the skin off of the potatoes and then cut them into fairly large chunks. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a baking dish.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees


Core several apples. (I have had better luck with Granny Smith apples.) Cut apples into medium sized chunks. (If you want softer apples, quickly cook on the stovetop with some butter.) Add to the baking dish.


Now here's where I always go a little over board, so adjust as you need to. Melt a stick of butter and then add a bunch of brown sugar and cinnamon and mix thoroughly. Spread evenly over the potatoes and apples. Put into the oven for 15-30 minutes. Apples and potatoes should be slightly brown. TASTES DELICIOUS!!! (Sorry that the recipe isn't exact, but it truly is very hard to mess this one up!)
These are really good.
