How do you eat sweet potatoes?

[Mike250]

I just put them in the microwave for several minutes. Was wondering if anybody prepares them differently or has any particular/favourite recipe in mind

Peel them cut them up chunky put them in the oven to they get like roasted. Can add oil and/or cinnamon is quite nice (leave oven door slightly open for 5 mins at the end)

Boil them for 10 - 15 minutes or untill soft, drain and mash. (add feta cheese and/or corriander for extra awesome, if your diet allows)

or buy the 97% sweet potato chips and have them in the oven! (door open again for 5 mins at end)

or you can make your own sweet potato chips by peeling and cutting a sweet potato and frying off the chips untill they are brown then covering the pan with a lid for 5 mins or so...

That's all I can think of atm.

Steam them!

Cut them into small pieces first

Steam them on a high heat to start with then turn the heat down to low and leave it to steam for 5-10mins depending on how soft you want them.

chop them up. boil them

then add a little bit of butter and mash them

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[crazyfacials]

pretty much what everyone said here except for luigi...being the fat kant that I am, I'm on a perma cutting process

they're pretty good when you make wedges out of them...good luck OP on your goals of eating kumra and please....stay safe

I boil them too, peel & slice fairly thin so they don't take as long to soften when boiling.

Add a dash of milk and a spoon of butter, then mash up. I reckon gold is best.

+1.

I do the whole bag as I quite like them cold for mid-day meals. Just love those orange suckers.

What everyone here said, however if you want them cooked in the fastest way possible, cut into small slices/wedges, put in a pyrex jug, cover with boiling water from the kettle and then immediately nuke on high for 5 mins. Then you can season/mash/whatever.

Roasted until caramelised is the best though

thanks for all the replies. I'm going to try the golden ones mashed up with some coconut oil

Slice them into 1cm slices, and bake them in the same grille as I do the steak and chicken. If you do it in baking paper, soooooo easy!

4-5 min per batch, they keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, makes carbs for lunches easy and a nice change from rice.

You can always throw the cooked slices in the oven with a little olive oil and bake them again for chips.
