Sweet Potatoes

[whatgoingon]

I am wondering different ways to cook sweet potatoes. Does anyone have a favorite way?

Hello whatgoingon this is a really good question as sweet potatoes can be cooked in many ways, I usually either boil them with other veg or stir fry them with other veg. They are also really good baked and you can make really nice sweet potato oven chips.

Here's a link to the BBC food guide to cooking sweet potatoes:

I hope this helps and I hope that your sweet potatoes however you choose to cook them.

I sometimes make cottage pie with sweet potatoes and I put it in curries. I like sweet potato chips - cut up on an oven tray - drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, rosemary and salt.

I steam them sometimes when I need to make something smooth like soups but I prefer them baked, I like that flavour best and it’s so easy, just wash them, stab them with a sharp knife, and put them in the oven for an hour. When you peel them it seems to be a race against time to get them cooking before they turn a murky grey colour!

You can eat them raw. They can also be used as a flour. Incredibly versatile, and very nutritious. If you can get them - get purple ones, famed for giving the Okinawans their health & longevity and for very good reasons.

In Liverpool recently visiting my son and we went to a restaurant where I had a sweet potato cooked with harissa. Delicious. It was served whole, thinly sliced along its length, but not quite all the way through. I don’t know at what stage it was sliced and the harissa added but, boy, did it taste good.

Cut into wedges use a little olive oil then sprinkle with spices of your choice then roast in oven gorgeous

I love sweet potatoes

I tend to make:

Sweet potato fries

Sweet potato hash (cubed & fried with other veggies, apple, bacon, mince, anything you like)

Use them instead of bread for sandwiches/burgers

Grated & fried like a pancake

Grated and turned into a cake

Bake them and scoop out the flesh to use in baking

Soup

They're very versatile!

I use them to make a fiery west african sweet potato and peanut stew plus I mash them with potatoes, swede and carrots as the topping for a green lentil "no shepherds" pie.

Sweet potato gnocchis are delicious, nutritious, very easy to prepare and they combine wonderfully with a simple mushroom or cheese sauce.

Another easy and delicious way to enjoy sweet potatoes is using them as a filling for pastries and cakes, with a pure made with just cooked sweet potato, brown sugar or honey, and a pinch of cinnamon and / or vanilla.

And also, have you ever tried to replace your regular jacket potatoes for sweet potatoes? Despite its sweet taste, sweet potatoes also combine wonderfully with many fillings!
