you know i cooked it once because i was told its a southern thing.i did not know what to so i fried them like you do french fries and i was told to put ketchup on them and of course im a northener trying to be southern it did not work and i did not like it but i will try your way and i will let you know how it came out

I have often thought about cooking sweet potato instead of ordinary potato as I have read it is better for you, I am such a lover of the plain old potato though I wonder if it tastes much different.

I know yams are good for you but I just cannot eat them. I gag everytime I try. Sounds like an interesting way to cook them though.

I really love sweet potatos. I have been looking for some new recipes and ways to prepare them. Thanks for this discussion! I like to take the potato and slice it crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. The slices are then placed on a baking sheet that has been spritzed w/ pam or such. I lightly spritz the slices too..so that my spices will cling. I sprnkle the slices with cinnamon, nutmeg, all-spice and just a tad of splenda. Bake at 250 for 35-40 minutes. YUM!!!

I havetried sweet potato fries. They are good but they don't compare to regular frnch fries. I think regular french fried have a better taste but I woul eat both of them.

Tried them for the first time my hubby and I loved them.I`ve heard of them before but was timid to try them they were great Thank you

I really have never tried them, but they sound great, I bet my kids would love them, I will have to try them.

I add sliced apples with the yams or sweet potatos, sprinkle lightly with cinnamin and clove, real butter (sparingly), cover, and bake in a medium oven until soft and cooked well through. I slice everything kind of thin. I like to take the cover off at the end so the top is cooked golden.

Sweet potatoes and yams are not all that easy to find in the shops here in the UK ... I wish they were as I have enjoyed them on the odd occasions I have found them in the shops ... your ideas have been noted ready for my next sweet potato

I love them as fries, but I admit we usually make them the mega-fattening way, baked with butter and brown sugar. I love to eat them like that as something different to have for breakfast every once in a while.

I like yams too. They are more versatile than folks think. i baked them and then scrape and mash, adding a tablespoon of brown sugar, a tablespoon of sour cream and some raisins. Yummy.

Hi. Thanks for responding to my love of Bryce Courtenay. I've read every book he has ever written. My next favourite is "Matthew Flinders Cat". Set in Australia - but people remain the same wherever they are! Anyrate, onto sweet potatoes. I Stuff Them! When you grow them there is always so many I have to find different ways to cook them. Slice the SweetBuck in half lengthways. With spoon scoop out a middle section til it looks like a canoe. Fill with watever you wish. I usually do tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger - mix together with the pulp from sweetbuck and restuff. Put in oven (about 180degrees)until soft. Yum yum!
