This is a common root tuber in my country.
Its rich in nutrients and a good source of carbohydrates.
Traditionally, it is boiled and taken with vegetables or roasted and taken with tea.
Recently, it has been cooked in various ways like
Fries, baked in cakes.
How is is prepared in your home country?

Same way... boiled and baked. We add salt and pepper if we want. Other way is to mash the boiled ones ,add milk to make a smooth paste and have it. You can add sugar or jaggery there if you like.
We also cook it as vegetables curry as we make our other curries. It goes well with brinjal and orange pumpkin.

@arunima25 the mashed ones with milk usually we use it during weaning in most cases. A mixture with pumpkin, my grandma used to cook it that way.

I don't see this sweet potato in our local grocery store. But our orange colored sweet potato is prepared many ways. Baked, made into a pie, fried, etc. It's all good.

@ladyhero here it can be taken with tea, vegetables, fried and used as a snack, taken with meat. Actually, it can be made into various nutrious diets
