How do you cook sweet potatos?
Answers:
You can cook them like baked potatoes, you can mash them like mash or you can peel them, cut them into cubes and roast them like that!
thats how i do it anyway ;)
like normal ones, they just taste different
You cook sweet potatoes the same as normal potatoes i.e roast, chip, mash,Jacket.
i slice them down the middle
put a bit of corn oil on the top, and bake em @ 350 until they are moist
Baked topped with butter and brown sugar! YUMMY!
Baked it with pepper and sugar
you can roast them on the grill or in the oven there are other ways but by roasting them &: a little butter, salt & pepper they are yummy
Treat them like carrots or any other root veg
I normally bake them at about 350F for 20-30 mins. Find it's the best way to do it. Otherwise, wrap them in tinfoil and do them on the barbeque like you would a roast potatoe. They're excellent that way, too.
You can also make sweet potato fries and sweet potatoe mash.
And sweet potatoe french fries are the best. Or try them in potatoe salad instead of your normal potatoe.
bake, boil, or fry
My roommate turned me onto a great sweet potato dish. It's Chipotle mashed sweet potatos. Just clean them up, poke some holes in them and bake them until they're cooked through. Once that's done they'll slip right out of the peel and you add one chili (chopped up) from a can of chipotle in adobo sauce (or as many as you like if you like it hot!) and mash them together. The heat of the chili cuts some of the sweet and they work together really well. Everyone I've made it for has loved it.
You can bake them or you can boil them, just like you would any other potato. If you boil them you should peel the potato first, cut into chunks then boil for 20-30 minutes. If you bake them you can cut them in half, add butter and bake for 30-45 minutes. Or you can bake them wrapped in foil, like a baker, for 1 hour or until tender.
If you boil them then you can mash them and add butter, brown sugar, nuts, etc., then top with marshmallows. If you bake them they are good with just butter on them.

exactly the same way as ordinary potatoes
Just the same as normal potatoes although I feel that they take alittle longer to cook. My favourite dish is Sweet potato and leek soup. Really easy to make and a very different taste to making it using normal potatoes.
you can bake them 350 for a hour
you can cut them up and boil them, when done peel them and serve with butter and seasonings or mash them like mashed potatoes
Tasty but takes a while: Baked. I'd suggest baking a bunch of them at once, because it takes a while, but once they're baked you can put them in the fridge and microwave them, and they taste fresh-baked when they're heated. Bake them on 350 until they're soft--stab them with forks to make sure. Also because it's fun to stab things with forks. Then when they're done, just serve with butter and a little bit of brown sugar.
Almost as tasty, much faster: boiled. With the skins on. Again, serve with butter and brown sugar.
Really neat snack: don't cook them! Just cut slices of a raw sweet potato, and they make delicous and crunchy snacks!
cook a potato and put it in honey..you have successfully cooked and made a sweet potato
Roast them and serve them with a sweet chilli dip! Yum
2 large sweet potatoes
1 tbsp of olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp of orange juice(optional)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch strips or wedges and toss in the oil and salt. Arrange in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet. Place in oven for 30 minutes, turning once.
I usually just nuke them the same way as ordinary potatoes and then serve with butter - just like ordinary potatoes!
They are really tasty and apparently you can even make 'chips' with them - but I would think they would mess up the cooking oil!
Just treat them as ordinary potatoes and decide how you and your family like them best! And most of all, enjoy - they have more of the Vitamin A than ordinary potatoes!
chopped them up to a good edible size, chunky not too small, coat with a little oil, adds some rosemary in with them and bake at about 350F.. until a fork goes easily through the middle of the pieces, leave them in a bit longer if you like them slighty browned.
Yum! Try all the different methods of cooking sweet potato, they taste delicious as roast, boiled or fried. (crisps)
I saw a recipe on TV the other day for twice baked sweet potatoes. You bake the SPs in the oven till done, then take out the insides, leaving the skins intact because you'll need them. Mash the innards. Mix in butter (or margarine), sour cream, brown sugar, maple syrup, and add some salt. Then put the mixture back in the skins, should be a little heaping over the top. Then place back in the oven. For a complete recipe:

Enjoy
the same as you cook nasty ones.
You can just boil them and eat them. Some people add butter and cinnamon, but I like them plain. For thanksgiving my mom boils them, cuts them in little cubes, puts them in a casserole dish and adds butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows and cooks them until the marshmallows melt. Mmmmmmmm
You can boil them, skin on or off , bake whole or slice long ways and fry them in butter.
-Mash them add butter and spices top off with marshmellows and brown the top. Becareful not to burn them!
-Candied with brown sugar a little honey, butter , nutmeg and cinnamon
-Some folks add apples and nuts to slightly boiled peeled potatos and bake in oven with brown sugar butter and spices.
-They even come frozen. Sweet Potato Fries. You cook them like you would fry your french fries. Just add a little sugar when they are done.
Baked Sweet Potatoes:
6 medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Heat oven to 400° F.
Pierce each sweet potato several times with the tines of a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
Make a slit in the top of each sweet potato. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter and season with the salt and pepper.
Variation: Baking sweet potatoes intensifies their sweetness, making them surprisingly satisfying with little, if any, embellishment. If you crave something over the top, try some maple syrup or brown sugar, a spoonful of sour cream, a pinch of ground cinnamon, some caramelized onions, a handful of pecans or walnuts, jarred applesauce or chutney, canned chipotles in adobo, crystallized ginger, or grated orange zest.
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Cook them the same way you would any ordinary potato, boil, fry, bake, mash etc etc
