I wasn’t a fan of sweet potato or yams - but I’ve recently tried adding cinnamon- just sprinkling it on like you would salt - no sugar needed 
You don’t have to add any extra calories but the flavour boost is amazing
I’ve also discovered a little squirt of olive oil over the entire salad, worked into it with tongs, is all that’s needed - no expensive dressings.
Yum! Let’s eat!!

Sweet potatoes make great chips (fries). They are also good in soups and curries. A nice alternative to the common and garden potato.

@Orson_Kart Yes, I really can't complain.
We are quite insulated from a lot of the COVID issues, and my work was never impacted.
In fact, I think we have fared better overall.
Hope you and yours are keeping well too.
Interesting side note, I am following a youtuber who sometimes uses a similar nom de plume as you.
Only in his case, he spells it Orsen Cart

Sweet potatoes just go really well with certain things, and they are good for you too...

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes. Yeah, I see them called "yams" here too, but they really aren't related, not even that closely flavored. Sweet potatoes are related to morning glories and are Ipomoea batatas. Yams are unrelated. They are Dioscorea and were independently domesticated 3 times, once in Africa, once in Asia and once in the Americas. They are related, but not exactly the same.
My wife and the roommate both like(d) them more than I do. However, a little salt was generally enough to make me happy. More than once a month was too often,
As for salads, a little lemon, lime or balsamic vinegar works quite nicely for me, even though blue cheese is my favorite salad dressing - in moderation...

I got the idea to add cinnamon because I'd tasted sweet potato pie and loved it - but of course pie is very rich - I didn't want to add a lot of extra calories - I tried the cinnamon only, and the natural sweetness and natural creamy texture of the yam worked perfectly.

Yum is right and they are so very good for us. I love them.
Though my son has diabetes so the sugar in them might be high at times.
