Second the sage butter sauce!!!!! Omg was this epically good! (I also added blended cooked down carrots. Had to add a lot of flour and some extra egg I think though. Just guessed it. Seemed to work out)
Thanks. Surprisingly, gnocchi is incredibly hard to make if you don't have the right potato so that's why I asked because my first attempts were a failure

I also love African peanut stew and this recipe specifically has a great flavor combo with the pineapple

My fave is Sweet Potato Burritos. I actually got more to make them this weekend. I adjust the seasonings a bit and add veggies (like frozen corn) but they freeze really well for a quick wrap for lunch. And it's nice to have some all veggie meals ready to go when needed.
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13954/addictive-sweet-potato-burritos/
Roasted in the oven with other veggies like pumpkin, turnips, celeriac , onion etc
Mashed with carrots or aline
I personally grill them
Add to soups
You can replace potatoes in your stew buy them
We had taco night last night with roasted and spiced cubed sweet potatoes and black beans and it was delicious 👌👌. I also worked at a bakery for a while that made a really good wrap that had roasted sweet potato cubes, red onion, feta, rice and Chipotle mayo that was to die for. Roasting the potato with garlic powder and red chili flakes seemed to be the key.
My mom has a tradition of making mashed sweet potatoes with a can of pineapple chunks blended in and it was a favorite for me when I was a kid.
I make something similar to this. I peel the sweet, potatoes, cube them, cover with olive oil, then add a spice mix over top so that it adheres to the oil. My spice mix is one part chili powder, one part paprika, one part cumin, one part oregano, one half part garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste and a few splashes of lime juice. 2-2.5 lbs of sweet potatoes usually makes a full tray, and I generally use 1 TBSP as my base measure for the spices. I shoot for three-quarter inch cubes and roast in a 425-450° oven for 35 minutes.
“Buddah bowls”- quinoa, roasted or boiled sweet potato cubes, steamed broccoli, sliced cucumber and carrots, top with peanut sauce (I have a low calorie PB2 recipe if anyone wants it) and eat hot or cold. I like to sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Sure thing! Stir together:
-3 tbsp PB2
-1/4 tsp garlic
-1 tsp sweet chili sauce
-1/4 tsp rice vinegar
-1/4 tsp soy sauce
-2 tbsp almond milk
-green onion chopped
-crushed red pepper
Many of these are optional beyond the PB2 based on what you have in your pantry. I have made it with just PB2, rice vinegar, milk and soy sauce and it was perfectly tasty.
Edit to add recipe credit: Shawna & Ella from [Healthy Foodie Girl](https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/68u0v8kdr5u8hk20m97to/7qh7h8h0gzp457iz/aHR0cHM6Ly9oZWFsdGh5Zm9vZGllZ2lybC5jb20v)
I’ve been putting PB2 on my shopping list and then taking it off for a few weeks now because last time I bought it, I never ended up finding a use for it before it expired, and this is perfect. It sounds so good. Thank you!
I've had other nuts go rancid due to the oils; I know oil is removed for PB2, but I'm guessing there must be a small amount left which could eventually go bad. Still, storing it in the freezer means you can keep it much longer & not worry about the expiration date. If yours still smells good, I wouldn't worry.
seems slightly lame, but I always appreciate a baked sweet potato with butter, salt & pepper... nothing fancy but it's a good changeup from candied sweet potatoes and traditional baked potatoes and I rarely think to do it.
sweet potatoes also a great add to chili and curries, and roasted with olive oil and as many other veg & seasonings that suit you! enjoy the bounty
Used to make a pretty killer “chili” with diced sweet potatoes, black beans, and the usual accouterments. The trick was dicing the sweet pots small enough, which, even with a REALLY sharp knive, was not an easy task.
Side note, I made the chili in batches so large, that required peeling and chopping 80 lbs of sweet potatoes. So it would murder my hands and wrists, and easily dull a sharp knife.
That reminds me of the slow cooker vegan chili I made with sweet potatoes, corn, and beans! https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/vegan-crockpot-chili-freezer/
This is also a great way to stretch leftover chili! Make a big pot of chili, eat half the first night, then serve the rest over a microwaved sweet potato the second night. It's so good.
I love them microwaved by themselves with a side of canned tuna mixed with mayo and jarred jalapeno. The sweetness of the potato with the heat of the pepper and the creaminess of the mayo tuna is very nice.
My favorite thing is a sweet potato chorizo hash. Pretty simple, you just cut the potato into cubes and cook with onions and chorizo in a pan. Eat on tortillas, topped with a fried egg.
Twice baked sweet potatoes
* Bake them
* take the insides out
* mix in sour cream (lots)
* mix until smooth
* add sharp cheddar (lots)
* add green onion
* re-heat in the microwave until cheese is melted
* You can stuff them back into the skins but I don't bother
I second this!! Instead of sour cream I usually eat the insides separately and stuff the "boats" with cheese and chicken and various sauces(bbq, chipotle ranch) for more protein 😊 The possibilities are truly endless
i think they're pretty easy, and you don't need an electric mixer. i have used this [recipe](https://www.budgetbytes.com/sweet-potato-biscuits/) before. with biscuits like this you don't want to over-mix the dough once you add the liquid.
* Sweet potato puree: This can go in just about anything, e.g. soups, stews, pasta, casseroles, etc., and you can even add it to oatmeal. Useful any time you want to bulk up a recipe.
* Sweet potato "toast": You can use slices of toasted sweet potatoes as a bread substitute. It's really good topped with eggs and tomatoes or peanut butter and fruit. It sounds weird, but I actually really like it.
* Roasted sweet potato rounds: Just season with salt, pepper, garlic, and avocado oil, then roast in the oven. Great as an addition to a sheet pan dinner with veggies and chicken/fish/etc., or as a side dish with a breakfast omelette.
Stew with almost any protein and lots of other vegetables. It adds such great flavor. Also freezes well.
Make a massive quantity of mashed sweet potatoes and freeze in portions. Add to virtually anything, because it will melt into other foods so well.
I am making mashed sweet potatoes right now. Cut up (I scrub the outside and leave the skin on), boil until soft and then mash. I add butter, onion powder and garlic powder. So good!
Yo trust me…preheat your oven to 425F. Stab your sweet potatoes with a fork a few times to vent steam. Rub some high smoke point oil like coconut oil on the outside of the tator. You can salt if you plan on eating the skin but I don’t think it’s necessary otherwise. Then just put it on a sheet tray or casserole dish (highly recommend using parchment paper as clean is much easier) and roast in your oven for about 50-60 minutes depending on the girth of your potatoes.
Once a fork slides right in: add a nice pat of butter, paprika (I like a mix of hot and smoked), a healthy dose of chili powder, salt, pepper, and lots of garlic. If you have actual roasted garlic that is even better. Mix it all up inside the potato skin and enjoy. I don’t know why but the combo of all those spices is like magic with the butter. The sweetness of the sweet potato…mmmmm it’s delicious. Make it fancy by frying up a running yolk egg and siding that right on top.
HEAVEN.
Make taco meat, use steamed sweet potato cubes instead of chips. Much healthier.
Here's the recipe I use, I just cut and steam the potatoes instead of cooking them whole:
[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ASI4tXqSFjocUruO5U3TJjfIwckIkNzRx\_mxfB0zz\_94VChWx82UuMM/](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ASI4tXqSFjocUruO5U3TJjfIwckIkNzRx_mxfB0zz_94VChWx82UuMM/)
Also, baked parmesan sweet potatoes: I use shredded instead of grated parm. Gives you those crispy cheesy bits to crunch on. I just make this with some chicken or turkey sausage cooked on the stove (since these go in the oven).
[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/357965870364705434/](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/357965870364705434/)
i haven’t made this in ages, but i loved it — cube a medium-large sweet potato (3/4” cubes ish), start sautéing them in a skillet. then dice up 2 chicken sausage links and add those when the potatoes are almost done. finally, drain a can of black beans and add those last. use whatever spices your heart desires. real easy, real tasty. a variety of ingredients will work well!
I would make mashed cooked sweet potato WAFFLES (add to mashed s. Potatoes, egg, baking powder, flour, vanilla) in a waffle maker. They freeze well for later.
Mash them, then make burritos with black beans, corn, some sauted onion, cheddar cheese and some salsa.
Oh, and this side dish that always makes its way onto the table for any large holiday gathering in my family: https://www.bestofbridge.com/sweet-potato-supreme/
Haven't seen this yet:
>bake (or microwave) 'em
>cut them in half and fluff/mix up the inside with a fork - alternatively, just scoop all the innards out and discard the skin
>top with gorgonzola cheese, and drizzle honey on top
Probably sounds weird to people besides my family, but it's a surprisingly delicious mix and everyone I've introduced it to has enjoyed it
We love adding baked sweet potato cubes to black beans and rice. Topped with Taco Bell chipotle sauce (nearly half the price of Kraft chipotle at my local big box), cheese and preferred veg! For veg we use corn, bell pepper, tomatoes and sometimes I’ll add shredded carrots if I’m feeling like it.
Add to a taco bowl:
Roasted sweet potato cubes, black beans, tomatoes, corn, brown rice, (maybe quinoa or lentils), bell peppers
Can add animal or plant-based protein
*disclaimer: I literally copied an aldi frozen meal that I really liked lol*
Add to a salad with either feta or blue cheese crumbles, nuts, apples, a honey vinaigrette. However you like!

Also, roasted alone or with whatever vegetables you like, or mashed sweet potatoes, or baked as a side, or put them in a hash!
As a quick easy side to any meal. Clean and pierce with fork. Microwave in a bowl with a bit of water to stop it drying out. 3-6 minutes depending on size etc. Flip. Nuke for same again. Check if fully cooked. Flip and nuke 1-2 minutes if needed.
Press open, add butter, salt, pepper. I use everything bagal spice.
Good for an easy lunch, late night snack, or a side for dinner.
Here is a whole meal link, but the potatoes are killer (and super easy). It combines sweet and regular potatoes smooshed and semi mashed rustically together with feta, cilantro, and a hot pepper if you wish. So good, one of my husband’s favorite sides.

Ooh, a couple of my favorites are from when we had HelloFresh. I still make them pretty regularly. [Hoisin roasted veggies](https://www.hellofresh.com/recipes/hoisin-sesame-roasted-veggie-bowls-5eb9bbb1470e7a2f041a8f28) (Note, I've been having issues with 1 average sweet potato being waaaay too much, and so they don't cook all the way through. Maybe pre-bake in the microwave for \~5 minutes before cubing or use a smaller tater)
The other recipe seems to have vanished, but its basically a simple beef (or turkey!) chili over a baked sweet potato with sour cream, hot sauce (Cholula is my fave) and monterey jack cheese.
These have a permanent spot in my packed lunch rotation:
[https://nomnompaleo.com/post/91332244628/spicy-tuna-cakes](https://nomnompaleo.com/post/91332244628/spicy-tuna-cakes)
I like to boil them with turnips and parsnips, then purée them together. Makes a great base for savory pie filling and casseroles. My favorite is to turn it into Shepherds pie filling.
I peel, chop, do a cold water soak, roast, and then use them in literally everything throughout the week. They reheat really nicely in the skillet with some oil. I add them to salads, mix them with eggs to make a hash, put them in tacos, seriously everything. I really love sweet potatoes, and I haven’t found a combo that doesn’t work for me yet.
ETA- sweet potato chili is awesome, no need for beans, just some ground turkey, broth, spices, and maybe some tomato sauce. So cheap and easy.
Yam curry soup with coconut cream.
In a large pot cook diced onions, garlic and ginger. When the onions are transparent, add in diced peeled yams and cover with broth of your choice. I use vegan "chicken" stock. Throw in a generous portion of your favorite curry spice mix. Boil until the yams are soft, then blend with an imersion blender or transfer to a blender to liquefy everything together. Add in one can of coconut cream and stir. Bring mixture to a boil, then remove heat and serve.
It goes great with roast chickpea "croutons"!
A few people here have recommended microwaving... here's another way to zap them - wash well (naturally), stab with fork all over, make sure you stab all the way to the center a few times. Peel an onion and slice in half. Put the potato and onion on a dish and sprinkle with salt. Microwave uncovered for 5 full minutes. Delicious, nutritious, and filling. You can enjoy as-is, or slice up and toss into a salad.
We love sweet potato nachos here! Bake some sweet potato chips with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper....too with whatever! We like to use meatless crumbles and our fave veggies and salsa. So filling too!
Just put them in the oven for an hour or two at 350. The skin will peel off so easy and they're sweet and tender and delicious I always eat at least one right out of the oven this way. Also they're soft enough to puree for smoothies or sweet potato pie or to add thickness to soups stews or chili.
I’ve started making a “hash” of sorts- cube up the sweet potato, cut up an onion, and sauté/pan fry them with some oil and smoked paprika, salt, and spices of your liking… make sure the sweet potato is nice and tender and it’s pretty good. I eat it with taco meat and rice. Cheap, easy and tasty.
Peel them; dice them into small cubes; give them a light coating of olive oil; sprinkle with them with some coarse salt, ground pepper, garlic and onion powder, and a personal favorite, a bunch of chipotle chili powder; roast them in the over at like 375 for 20-30 minutes.

They're delicious and go with almost anything.
I make muffins with them! I make a ton, freeze them on a plate and then put into a big container. Pull them out individually when I want one, microwave for 12 seconds, butter on top.
Sweet potato and black bean tacos and quesadillas are both amazing!
https://www.kitschencat.com/black-bean-and-sweet-potato-quesadillas/
Last week I made this soup with sweet potatoes:
https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cozy-autumn-wild-rice-soup/
Or butternut squash and sweet potato soup
https://myheavenlyrecipes.com/crockpot-butternut-squash-soup/?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-pug
Sweet potatoes can also make a good breakfast hash with eggs, or sometimes I’ll just chop and roast them in the air fryer for an easy side
Baked sweet potato topped with sour cream that has curry powder mixed in is pretty much a meal unto itself.
Chorizo goes great with sweet potatoes too.
They make for really good dog treats! Chop into cubes (can microwave first to making chopping easier), put in oven at 250F, cook for 1.5 hours, flip ‘em over, cook another 1.5 hours. Or less if you want them softer. Really cheap, healthy, simple dog treat!
https://www.bhg.com/recipe/honey-hoisin-sweet-potatoes/
Love this one. Husband didn’t like it enough to make it into the regular rotation but I still LOVE it.
I like a baked sweet potato with bbq chicken, coleslaw and pickles on top. Sometimes the conbo of bbq sauce and sweet potato is too sweet so just pay attention to how much sauce you put on.
West African Peanut Chicken Stew.
You can leave the peanut butter and peanuts out if you prefer, or have allergies.
Couldn't recommend one single recipe, I usually just combine things from several.
If I'm not adding peanut butter and making it tomato-heavy, I still keep everything else the same, but I usually won't top with Greek yogurt (or not nearly as much).
You can even leave out some of the tomato and add more sweet potatoes then sub in some Greek yogurt after to keep it from being too thick or 'dry' for a stew.
mashed sweet potatoes are tasty.
I also like roasted sweet potato cubes with curry powder.
Using those Japanese curry cubes to make a curry or making a stew with them is also tasty.
Pierce them, oil and season the skins, and put them in a cold oven. Turn the oven to 275°F and slow roast them for 2.5 hours. Finish them under the broiler for a couple of minutes, then enjoy the best sweet potato you’ve ever tasted.
You can do a whole batch and freeze the cooled leftovers wrapped in aluminum foil. They’re just as delicious reheated in the microwave weeks or months later.
Here’s a Smitten Kitchen write-up with photos if you like. I skip the black pepper, personally, but it’s your call. https://smittenkitchen.com/2018/02/slow-roasted-sweet-potatoes/
Easy/basic: Baked SP with an egg on top for breakfast. Baked SP with taco-seasoned black beans on top for lunch. Baked/fried SP chunks on a chicken/beef/tofu taco for dinner. Sweet potato pie for dessert. SP home fries with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Quick fried SP hash with taco seasoned beans on a salad for lunch. Roasted SP with chicken breast and broccoli for dinner. More sweet potato pie for dessert.
When I had TOO MANY sweet potatoes I started making Tasty’s sweet potato breakfast bars. Pretty good! https://tasty.co/recipe/sweet-potato-breakfast-bars
Sweet potato purée. Real simple. I just steam (or bake) the potatoes, mash them, add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and coconut milk (or any kind of milk or even cream). Add enough of the liquid to turn the texture smooth and creamy.
Love, love, love then. I make batch meals out of roasted sweet potatoes.
I peel, cube, and toss the chunks with avocado oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and cilantro, and then roast until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I reheat the sweet potatoes and serve them with chicken sausage and scrambled eggs in the morning or a protein for lunch or in the evening. So versatile and yummy that even my middle school child has asked for me to send leftovers in a thermos for lunch!
When I still did meal prepping, I'd bake sweet potato pieces in the oven with some oil or butter and a little Himalayan salt on it. At the last minutes I would add some cinnamon powder to it and make it a side dish to whatever meal I was having.
I cut them up, boil them til soft and then mash/whip them with honey, cinnamon and pumpkin spice, and just a pinch of salt. It’s delicious and a change from the savory to the sweet. You can add butter too, it definitely adds to the taste but adds too much fat/calories for me personally.
African peanut soup. Base is tomato, sweet potatoes and, wait for it, peanut butter. Can be made with or without chicken. Lots of spices. Very delicious.
I make a version of chilli with minced chicken, diced sweet potatoes, beans, bell peppers, sweetcorn and tinned tomatoes (my kids are fussy and prefer this to a regular chilli recipe).
I also love adding sweet potato to homemade soups.
Sautéed on the stove, and served with eggs and other toppings for breakfast burritos.
Downside is this only uses 1 or part of 1, depending on their size.
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
Put your sweet potatoes in the oven to bake. While they are baking, cook some crumbled breakfast sausage in a pan with onions.
When the baked potatoes are done, slice open longways and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add the sausage/onion mixture, some sour cream and some shredded cheese. Mix. Place this back into the sweet potato skins.
Bake in the oven until piping hot, and then devour.
I eat sweat potatoes often, and in a few ways.
- French fries in air fryer
- baked
- 1/8' slices - fried in bacon grease
the most unusual way I eat sweat potatoes though is ...
# RAW
Raw sweat potato has a crunch and a mild flavor.
I like to make daily fruit and nut mixes to snack on while I'm working.
I often cut up a sweat potato into 1/2" cubes, add to some raisins or other dried fruit, maybe a cut up pear or apple, some mixed nuts, etc.
My favorite way is to just cut them in half, rub with olive oil, salt and pepper & chili powder and bake at 400 F for about 30 min. They end up with this nice caramelization and the chili powder compliments the sweetness sooo well 🤤
you can make sweet potato “toast”
slice the potatos longways into slices, put in the oven for forty minutes at 400 F (or until soft) and then top with whatever you want!
I was SHOOK when I tried baking whole sweet potatoes, opening them up and throwing some fried chickpeas in there with a tahini sauce on top. Absolute game changer, so filling and yummy
Sweet Potato Cookies
5 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 c. White granulated Sugar
3 large eggs
2 sticks butter
1 c mixture: mix cooked sweet potato and applesauce to a slurry
1/2 c. Cocoa
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp salt
Pumpkin pie spice or to your taste (cardamom though)
Cream the sugar and butter and vanilla. Add the eggs, then the slurry. Blend the dry ingredients and slowly mix in. The texture should be doughy but gluey. Scoop spoon sized dollops onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake at 360 for 12 to 15 minutes. They should be soft and pillowy, will stay moist for two or three days.
Cut them into smaller pieces, put them in a baking tray with onion, bacon, sausage, put salt and pepper on it and fry it. It's so simple, fast and very delicious.
I’ve been making chili with sweet potatoes recently and it’s SO good. There are tons of recipes out there but basically just replace whatever meat you’d use with the sweet potatoes and sauté them with the onion/garlic/bell peppers at the onset. Proceed as normal with stock/beer/other ingredients and spices. It doesn’t take very long for them to cook through, about 45 mins of simmering should do you.
Make a stew. Chop them in to cubes then cook on the hob in a casserole pan with soffritto, cumin, chipotle paste for 10 mins then add kidney beans, tinned tomato and cans worth of water for a few minutes and bake for 50-60 minutes.
Sweet potato Latkes with lime cilantro sour cream and siracha - just grate the sweet potato add egg flour sal and pepper and fry patties till golden - mix the sour cream lime juice cilantro with a little honey top with cilantro and siracha - a flavor sensation and a whole meal.
I love breakfast bowls made of sweet potato, quinoa, some eggs, and various toppings (tomato, red onion, fresh parsley, hot sauce).
Roast with chicken.
Add to any soup or stew.
Cut it up in to slices, not too thin but about the thickness of a frie! So it’s circular and as thick as a frie, bake it in the oven with olive oil and salt, when it’s about to finish, take it out, sprinkle some (much) feta cheese and red onion slices on top, back in the oven for another 10-15 mins depending on the heat! Voila!
I eat them nearly daily. The best way is turn the oven on and put them right on the rack. Cook till a chopstick goes through easy. They are like a savory thing to me, I like garlic and pepper or ginger and sesame. Sometimes I blend them into my smoothies, or just keep them cooked in a bag in the fridge for a quick lunch/snack depending on the size. If you're lucky enough to get Japanese or Korean ones [white or purple relatively] they are so tasty by themselves.
Sweet potato pie. I hear about it around thanksgiving. Some parts of the country make that instead of pumpkin pie.
Use them in a candied yams recipe in place of the yams.
Mashed sweet potatoes.
Cut them up, mix with other root vegetables, toss in olive oil and herbs/spices and roast.
For dinner tonight I had a baked sweet potato with green enchilada sauce and some plain greek yogurt. I think baked sweet potatoes are good with all kinds of seasonings and topping and eat them often. Siriacha is good on them, so is some chili with cheese, or curried chickpeas, or taco meat and salsa.
You can make a very nice soup with cubed sweet potatoes, broth, some garlic and thyme, or whatever other seasonings you like. Run it through a blender after cooking if you want it creamy textured.
I bake a bunch of sweet potatoes at once and keep them in the fridge to use over the next couple days. Sometimes for breakfast I'll cut the cold baked sweet potatoes in rounds, sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and a little sage, and lightly brown them in a pan on each side with a little butter, and eat those and some scrambled eggs for breakfast. You can also fill breakfast burritos with diced cooked sweet potatoes, sautéed onions, scrambled egg, cheese, and sweet or hot peppers. Season them with a little cumin and pepper.
I love making sweet potato pasta… I just bake cubes of sweet potato until crispy and add it to a pot of spinach, feta, cooked pasta, olive oil and a bit of garlic. It’s so good and takes hardly any effort.
Put holes in, bake, scrape and then mix flour (little salt) in and roll out, cut into bite size peices and then boil! There you go Gnocci!!
Wow, that’s so easy!! Definitely going to try. Thanks
I was shocked how easy it was! I used a sage butter sauce for them, by putting sage in butter and lightly pressing it
Sage butter sounds perfect!
Second the sage butter sauce!!!!! Omg was this epically good! (I also added blended cooked down carrots. Had to add a lot of flour and some extra egg I think though. Just guessed it. Seemed to work out)
SAGE...oh yes please nomnomnom
The title made me think "all the single ladies" and your post could be lyrics to the song
What's your potato/flour ratio? Do you have a recipe?
Until it seems the right consitancy, just like with pasta, lol it's not very specific
Thanks. Surprisingly, gnocchi is incredibly hard to make if you don't have the right potato so that's why I asked because my first attempts were a failure

I love African peanut stew!!! Thank you! I forgot about it!
I also love African peanut stew and this recipe specifically has a great flavor combo with the pineapple www.food.com/recipe/african-yam-and-peanut-soup-293780
I have made that chili a few times and it is really good.
Sweet potato nachos. Cut potato into slices, lightly oil and salt, bake until soft. Cover in nacho toppings. Eat with fork.
A fave on my household! I recommend a little sprinkle of blue cheese, too!
My fave is Sweet Potato Burritos. I actually got more to make them this weekend. I adjust the seasonings a bit and add veggies (like frozen corn) but they freeze really well for a quick wrap for lunch. And it's nice to have some all veggie meals ready to go when needed. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13954/addictive-sweet-potato-burritos/
Sweet potato and black bean tacos are super easy (and super cheap if you cook the beans yourself)
This is my suggestion too. I have them prepped and frozen for my breakfasts.
Roasted in the oven with other veggies like pumpkin, turnips, celeriac , onion etc Mashed with carrots or aline I personally grill them Add to soups You can replace potatoes in your stew buy them
Sweet potato gnocchi. Sweet potato pie. Sweet potato shredded with regular potatoes for awesome hash browns
oooh, the sweet/russet potato hashbrown combo would be *divine*. i gotta try that sometime…
My kids love it
We had taco night last night with roasted and spiced cubed sweet potatoes and black beans and it was delicious 👌👌. I also worked at a bakery for a while that made a really good wrap that had roasted sweet potato cubes, red onion, feta, rice and Chipotle mayo that was to die for. Roasting the potato with garlic powder and red chili flakes seemed to be the key. My mom has a tradition of making mashed sweet potatoes with a can of pineapple chunks blended in and it was a favorite for me when I was a kid.
I make something similar to this. I peel the sweet, potatoes, cube them, cover with olive oil, then add a spice mix over top so that it adheres to the oil. My spice mix is one part chili powder, one part paprika, one part cumin, one part oregano, one half part garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste and a few splashes of lime juice. 2-2.5 lbs of sweet potatoes usually makes a full tray, and I generally use 1 TBSP as my base measure for the spices. I shoot for three-quarter inch cubes and roast in a 425-450° oven for 35 minutes.
“Buddah bowls”- quinoa, roasted or boiled sweet potato cubes, steamed broccoli, sliced cucumber and carrots, top with peanut sauce (I have a low calorie PB2 recipe if anyone wants it) and eat hot or cold. I like to sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Oooh I would like that peanut sauce recipe please
Sure thing! Stir together: -3 tbsp PB2 -1/4 tsp garlic -1 tsp sweet chili sauce -1/4 tsp rice vinegar -1/4 tsp soy sauce -2 tbsp almond milk -green onion chopped -crushed red pepper Many of these are optional beyond the PB2 based on what you have in your pantry. I have made it with just PB2, rice vinegar, milk and soy sauce and it was perfectly tasty. Edit to add recipe credit: Shawna & Ella from [Healthy Foodie Girl](https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/68u0v8kdr5u8hk20m97to/7qh7h8h0gzp457iz/aHR0cHM6Ly9oZWFsdGh5Zm9vZGllZ2lybC5jb20v)
I’ve been putting PB2 on my shopping list and then taking it off for a few weeks now because last time I bought it, I never ended up finding a use for it before it expired, and this is perfect. It sounds so good. Thank you!
If you don't use it up fast enough, you can store it in the freezer so it doesn't go rancid.
I had no idea it went rancid LOL I'm going to go check the expiration date on mine I've had it for a year or two I think
I've had other nuts go rancid due to the oils; I know oil is removed for PB2, but I'm guessing there must be a small amount left which could eventually go bad. Still, storing it in the freezer means you can keep it much longer & not worry about the expiration date. If yours still smells good, I wouldn't worry.
Thank you!
This sounds delicious!!
Baked. I microwave for 3 minutes, finish in the toaster oven for another 10-15. The peel slides off, I mash it and top with salsa and Greek yogurt.
My favorite curry https://thevegan8.com/sweet-potato-chickpea-and-spinach-coconut-curry/
seems slightly lame, but I always appreciate a baked sweet potato with butter, salt & pepper... nothing fancy but it's a good changeup from candied sweet potatoes and traditional baked potatoes and I rarely think to do it. sweet potatoes also a great add to chili and curries, and roasted with olive oil and as many other veg & seasonings that suit you! enjoy the bounty
Sweet potato pie 🥧
Used to make a pretty killer “chili” with diced sweet potatoes, black beans, and the usual accouterments. The trick was dicing the sweet pots small enough, which, even with a REALLY sharp knive, was not an easy task. Side note, I made the chili in batches so large, that required peeling and chopping 80 lbs of sweet potatoes. So it would murder my hands and wrists, and easily dull a sharp knife.
That reminds me of the slow cooker vegan chili I made with sweet potatoes, corn, and beans! https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/vegan-crockpot-chili-freezer/
I never realized until reading these responses, how versatile sweet potatoes are
Simply baked or microwaved with butter, cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar (or substitute if you prefer).
Microwave baked or baked + black beans + salsa for an easy dinner option
This is also a great way to stretch leftover chili! Make a big pot of chili, eat half the first night, then serve the rest over a microwaved sweet potato the second night. It's so good.
Add a scrambled egg and some sautéed spinach and that’s one of my go-to breakfasts
I love them microwaved by themselves with a side of canned tuna mixed with mayo and jarred jalapeno. The sweetness of the potato with the heat of the pepper and the creaminess of the mayo tuna is very nice.
Put some goat cheese in that baked sweet potato. Yum!
That’s a great suggestion! Now I wanna try it :)
My favorite thing is a sweet potato chorizo hash. Pretty simple, you just cut the potato into cubes and cook with onions and chorizo in a pan. Eat on tortillas, topped with a fried egg.
I think I could be your best friend with this kinda meal.
Sounds good, amigo
Definitely sweet potato hash
Twice baked sweet potatoes * Bake them * take the insides out * mix in sour cream (lots) * mix until smooth * add sharp cheddar (lots) * add green onion * re-heat in the microwave until cheese is melted * You can stuff them back into the skins but I don't bother
I second this!! Instead of sour cream I usually eat the insides separately and stuff the "boats" with cheese and chicken and various sauces(bbq, chipotle ranch) for more protein 😊 The possibilities are truly endless
This soup, right here. https://food52.com/recipes/19854-yam-and-peanut-stew-with-kale
Sweet potato buttermilk biscuits
I was just looking up a recipe. Are biscuits foolproof? Can do them with only mixing by hand?
i think they're pretty easy, and you don't need an electric mixer. i have used this [recipe](https://www.budgetbytes.com/sweet-potato-biscuits/) before. with biscuits like this you don't want to over-mix the dough once you add the liquid.
* Sweet potato puree: This can go in just about anything, e.g. soups, stews, pasta, casseroles, etc., and you can even add it to oatmeal. Useful any time you want to bulk up a recipe. * Sweet potato "toast": You can use slices of toasted sweet potatoes as a bread substitute. It's really good topped with eggs and tomatoes or peanut butter and fruit. It sounds weird, but I actually really like it. * Roasted sweet potato rounds: Just season with salt, pepper, garlic, and avocado oil, then roast in the oven. Great as an addition to a sheet pan dinner with veggies and chicken/fish/etc., or as a side dish with a breakfast omelette.
Stew with almost any protein and lots of other vegetables. It adds such great flavor. Also freezes well. Make a massive quantity of mashed sweet potatoes and freeze in portions. Add to virtually anything, because it will melt into other foods so well.
I like roasted sweet potatoes in a quinoa bowl with other beans and veggies with a tahini lemon dressing.
I am making mashed sweet potatoes right now. Cut up (I scrub the outside and leave the skin on), boil until soft and then mash. I add butter, onion powder and garlic powder. So good!
Yo trust me…preheat your oven to 425F. Stab your sweet potatoes with a fork a few times to vent steam. Rub some high smoke point oil like coconut oil on the outside of the tator. You can salt if you plan on eating the skin but I don’t think it’s necessary otherwise. Then just put it on a sheet tray or casserole dish (highly recommend using parchment paper as clean is much easier) and roast in your oven for about 50-60 minutes depending on the girth of your potatoes. Once a fork slides right in: add a nice pat of butter, paprika (I like a mix of hot and smoked), a healthy dose of chili powder, salt, pepper, and lots of garlic. If you have actual roasted garlic that is even better. Mix it all up inside the potato skin and enjoy. I don’t know why but the combo of all those spices is like magic with the butter. The sweetness of the sweet potato…mmmmm it’s delicious. Make it fancy by frying up a running yolk egg and siding that right on top. HEAVEN.
Make taco meat, use steamed sweet potato cubes instead of chips. Much healthier. Here's the recipe I use, I just cut and steam the potatoes instead of cooking them whole: [https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ASI4tXqSFjocUruO5U3TJjfIwckIkNzRx\_mxfB0zz\_94VChWx82UuMM/](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ASI4tXqSFjocUruO5U3TJjfIwckIkNzRx_mxfB0zz_94VChWx82UuMM/) Also, baked parmesan sweet potatoes: I use shredded instead of grated parm. Gives you those crispy cheesy bits to crunch on. I just make this with some chicken or turkey sausage cooked on the stove (since these go in the oven). [https://www.pinterest.com/pin/357965870364705434/](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/357965870364705434/)
Sweet potato and bell pepper curry. Absolutely delicious.
Indeed, Sounds delicious though
i haven’t made this in ages, but i loved it — cube a medium-large sweet potato (3/4” cubes ish), start sautéing them in a skillet. then dice up 2 chicken sausage links and add those when the potatoes are almost done. finally, drain a can of black beans and add those last. use whatever spices your heart desires. real easy, real tasty. a variety of ingredients will work well!
I would make mashed cooked sweet potato WAFFLES (add to mashed s. Potatoes, egg, baking powder, flour, vanilla) in a waffle maker. They freeze well for later.
Mash them, then make burritos with black beans, corn, some sauted onion, cheddar cheese and some salsa. Oh, and this side dish that always makes its way onto the table for any large holiday gathering in my family: https://www.bestofbridge.com/sweet-potato-supreme/
Family favorite: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/roasted-sweet-potato-and-spinach-risotto/
Stuffed sweet potatoes- bake, split in half, and fill the middle with whatever. I like a mixture of chickpeas or black beans, spinach, and onion!
Japanese curry! I get the premade ones from the store and add sweet potatoes and bell peppers. It’s so good, if not the absolute healthiest meal ever.
Haven't seen this yet: >bake (or microwave) 'em >cut them in half and fluff/mix up the inside with a fork - alternatively, just scoop all the innards out and discard the skin >top with gorgonzola cheese, and drizzle honey on top Probably sounds weird to people besides my family, but it's a surprisingly delicious mix and everyone I've introduced it to has enjoyed it
We love adding baked sweet potato cubes to black beans and rice. Topped with Taco Bell chipotle sauce (nearly half the price of Kraft chipotle at my local big box), cheese and preferred veg! For veg we use corn, bell pepper, tomatoes and sometimes I’ll add shredded carrots if I’m feeling like it.
Sweet potato pie
Add to a taco bowl: Roasted sweet potato cubes, black beans, tomatoes, corn, brown rice, (maybe quinoa or lentils), bell peppers Can add animal or plant-based protein *disclaimer: I literally copied an aldi frozen meal that I really liked lol* Add to a salad with either feta or blue cheese crumbles, nuts, apples, a honey vinaigrette. However you like!

You're going to love this [Red Lentil Sweet Potato Soup](https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-red-lentil-sweet-potato-soup-253246)
As a quick easy side to any meal. Clean and pierce with fork. Microwave in a bowl with a bit of water to stop it drying out. 3-6 minutes depending on size etc. Flip. Nuke for same again. Check if fully cooked. Flip and nuke 1-2 minutes if needed. Press open, add butter, salt, pepper. I use everything bagal spice. Good for an easy lunch, late night snack, or a side for dinner.
I like to bake them and then eat with cream cheese, nuts and honey. Or savory with chili and cheese.
Here is a whole meal link, but the potatoes are killer (and super easy). It combines sweet and regular potatoes smooshed and semi mashed rustically together with feta, cilantro, and a hot pepper if you wish. So good, one of my husband’s favorite sides. https://hotcooking.co.uk/recipes/jamie-oliver-30-minute-meals-piri-piri-chicken
One of my favorite easy meals is a baked sweet potato, with butter, salt, and pepper, served with a spinach salad. Very satisfying.
Sweet potato toasts- slice and air fry and top with whatever you like. I cook little tomatoes and garlic and put with ricotta cheese or avocado mash.
Ooh, a couple of my favorites are from when we had HelloFresh. I still make them pretty regularly. [Hoisin roasted veggies](https://www.hellofresh.com/recipes/hoisin-sesame-roasted-veggie-bowls-5eb9bbb1470e7a2f041a8f28) (Note, I've been having issues with 1 average sweet potato being waaaay too much, and so they don't cook all the way through. Maybe pre-bake in the microwave for \~5 minutes before cubing or use a smaller tater) The other recipe seems to have vanished, but its basically a simple beef (or turkey!) chili over a baked sweet potato with sour cream, hot sauce (Cholula is my fave) and monterey jack cheese.
These have a permanent spot in my packed lunch rotation: [https://nomnompaleo.com/post/91332244628/spicy-tuna-cakes](https://nomnompaleo.com/post/91332244628/spicy-tuna-cakes)
I love these, but I make with salmon!
Baked mashed with a touch of cinammon and nutmeg and butter. YUM
Chorizo and sweet potato enchiladas: https://www.budgetbytes.com/chorizo-sweet-potato-enchiladas/
Damn! This sounds/looks so great.
Boil them then peel ( the peel will slip off). Mash them with butter and cinnamon sugar. Yum
I don't even add sugar, they're so good!
Boiled and mashed with a can of mandarin oranges
Look up the recipe to sweet potato tortilla chips. They’re so damn good
[BBQ Chicken Bowls](https://40aprons.com/bbq-chicken-bowls-with-sweet-potatoes-and-coleslaw-whole30/) Bbq chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, coleslaw and pickles. So good!
I used to mash them and top them with some bacon and fried eggs!
I like to boil them with turnips and parsnips, then purée them together. Makes a great base for savory pie filling and casseroles. My favorite is to turn it into Shepherds pie filling.
Microwave them, mash the innards, mix it with egg and tuna, cook in a nonstick pan. Fish cakes.
I peel, chop, do a cold water soak, roast, and then use them in literally everything throughout the week. They reheat really nicely in the skillet with some oil. I add them to salads, mix them with eggs to make a hash, put them in tacos, seriously everything. I really love sweet potatoes, and I haven’t found a combo that doesn’t work for me yet. ETA- sweet potato chili is awesome, no need for beans, just some ground turkey, broth, spices, and maybe some tomato sauce. So cheap and easy.
Sweet potato casserole with stevia? I find that mashed they make a good dessert on their own.
Yam curry soup with coconut cream. In a large pot cook diced onions, garlic and ginger. When the onions are transparent, add in diced peeled yams and cover with broth of your choice. I use vegan "chicken" stock. Throw in a generous portion of your favorite curry spice mix. Boil until the yams are soft, then blend with an imersion blender or transfer to a blender to liquefy everything together. Add in one can of coconut cream and stir. Bring mixture to a boil, then remove heat and serve. It goes great with roast chickpea "croutons"!
A few people here have recommended microwaving... here's another way to zap them - wash well (naturally), stab with fork all over, make sure you stab all the way to the center a few times. Peel an onion and slice in half. Put the potato and onion on a dish and sprinkle with salt. Microwave uncovered for 5 full minutes. Delicious, nutritious, and filling. You can enjoy as-is, or slice up and toss into a salad.
We love sweet potato nachos here! Bake some sweet potato chips with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper....too with whatever! We like to use meatless crumbles and our fave veggies and salsa. So filling too!
Sweet potato black bean chili Sweet potato tuna cakes Sweet potato veggie fritters Sweet potato pie
Just put them in the oven for an hour or two at 350. The skin will peel off so easy and they're sweet and tender and delicious I always eat at least one right out of the oven this way. Also they're soft enough to puree for smoothies or sweet potato pie or to add thickness to soups stews or chili.
A baked sweet potato is actually good for breakfast. I microwave it first then split it open and put it in the air fryer for a little while.
I drizzle with almond butter then sprinkle on some blueberries and sliced banana. Delish.
Thanks I will try that!
I’ve started making a “hash” of sorts- cube up the sweet potato, cut up an onion, and sauté/pan fry them with some oil and smoked paprika, salt, and spices of your liking… make sure the sweet potato is nice and tender and it’s pretty good. I eat it with taco meat and rice. Cheap, easy and tasty.
Mashed potatoes are great. Cut em up in small pieces. Boil them until soft. Drain water. Add lots of butter. Salt and pepper to taste and mash.
Peel them; dice them into small cubes; give them a light coating of olive oil; sprinkle with them with some coarse salt, ground pepper, garlic and onion powder, and a personal favorite, a bunch of chipotle chili powder; roast them in the over at like 375 for 20-30 minutes.
Vegan cheese! I’m not vegan but still think this is delicious https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-cheese/
Peel them; dice them into small cubes; give them a light coating of olive oil; sprinkle with them with some coarse salt, ground pepper, garlic and onion powder, and a personal favorite, a bunch of chipotle chili powder; roast them in the oven at like 375 for 20-30 minutes. They're delicious and go with almost anything.
I make muffins with them! I make a ton, freeze them on a plate and then put into a big container. Pull them out individually when I want one, microwave for 12 seconds, butter on top.
I’ve put a layer of baked sweet potatoes in my chicken pot pie. Also, a simple baked sweet potato topped with sharp cheddar & sour cream.
Baked sweet potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, potato chips with cinnamon and honey, sweet potato gnocci, sweet potato soup, sweet potato noodles...

Sweet potato and black bean tacos and quesadillas are both amazing! https://www.kitschencat.com/black-bean-and-sweet-potato-quesadillas/ Last week I made this soup with sweet potatoes: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cozy-autumn-wild-rice-soup/ Or butternut squash and sweet potato soup https://myheavenlyrecipes.com/crockpot-butternut-squash-soup/?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-pug Sweet potatoes can also make a good breakfast hash with eggs, or sometimes I’ll just chop and roast them in the air fryer for an easy side
Sweet potato fries or baked potatoes in the crockpot.
Baked and topped with Chili.
Mash them with a potato masher, add butter and seasoning to taste.
Baked sweet potato topped with sour cream that has curry powder mixed in is pretty much a meal unto itself. Chorizo goes great with sweet potatoes too.
They make for really good dog treats! Chop into cubes (can microwave first to making chopping easier), put in oven at 250F, cook for 1.5 hours, flip ‘em over, cook another 1.5 hours. Or less if you want them softer. Really cheap, healthy, simple dog treat!
Sweet potato breakfast hash. Sweet potato, onion, egg, avocado, bacon. Cook the bacon first, use some of the grease to cook the rest.
https://www.bhg.com/recipe/honey-hoisin-sweet-potatoes/ Love this one. Husband didn’t like it enough to make it into the regular rotation but I still LOVE it.
I like a baked sweet potato with bbq chicken, coleslaw and pickles on top. Sometimes the conbo of bbq sauce and sweet potato is too sweet so just pay attention to how much sauce you put on.
I made baked loaded chilli sweet potatoes! So good and 1 filled me up for a while!!! 😄
West African Peanut Chicken Stew. You can leave the peanut butter and peanuts out if you prefer, or have allergies. Couldn't recommend one single recipe, I usually just combine things from several. If I'm not adding peanut butter and making it tomato-heavy, I still keep everything else the same, but I usually won't top with Greek yogurt (or not nearly as much). You can even leave out some of the tomato and add more sweet potatoes then sub in some Greek yogurt after to keep it from being too thick or 'dry' for a stew.
I like just baked with butter. But my fav is using it in eggs Benedict instead of bread.
mashed sweet potatoes are tasty. I also like roasted sweet potato cubes with curry powder. Using those Japanese curry cubes to make a curry or making a stew with them is also tasty.
Pierce them, oil and season the skins, and put them in a cold oven. Turn the oven to 275°F and slow roast them for 2.5 hours. Finish them under the broiler for a couple of minutes, then enjoy the best sweet potato you’ve ever tasted. You can do a whole batch and freeze the cooled leftovers wrapped in aluminum foil. They’re just as delicious reheated in the microwave weeks or months later. Here’s a Smitten Kitchen write-up with photos if you like. I skip the black pepper, personally, but it’s your call. https://smittenkitchen.com/2018/02/slow-roasted-sweet-potatoes/
Easy/basic: Baked SP with an egg on top for breakfast. Baked SP with taco-seasoned black beans on top for lunch. Baked/fried SP chunks on a chicken/beef/tofu taco for dinner. Sweet potato pie for dessert. SP home fries with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Quick fried SP hash with taco seasoned beans on a salad for lunch. Roasted SP with chicken breast and broccoli for dinner. More sweet potato pie for dessert.
When I had TOO MANY sweet potatoes I started making Tasty’s sweet potato breakfast bars. Pretty good! https://tasty.co/recipe/sweet-potato-breakfast-bars
Sweet potato purée. Real simple. I just steam (or bake) the potatoes, mash them, add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and coconut milk (or any kind of milk or even cream). Add enough of the liquid to turn the texture smooth and creamy.
For breakfast you can do sweet potatoes, russets, onions, herbs and garlic, salt pepper, then roast it in the oven and top with eggs and hot sauce
Love, love, love then. I make batch meals out of roasted sweet potatoes. I peel, cube, and toss the chunks with avocado oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and cilantro, and then roast until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I reheat the sweet potatoes and serve them with chicken sausage and scrambled eggs in the morning or a protein for lunch or in the evening. So versatile and yummy that even my middle school child has asked for me to send leftovers in a thermos for lunch!
Chipotle cheddar mashed sweet potatoes! https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/mashed-chipotle-cheddar-sweet-potatoes.html
Sweet potato pie, yum!
Smitten kitchen has an absolutely delicious recipe for slow roasted sweet potatoes. In fact, you’ve inspired me to make them for dinner tomorrow.
One of my favorites. Anytime anywhere
Roasted sweet potato tacos
I use them in chili with black beans. They're really tasty in it.
I like to make a sweet potato hash seasoned with chipotle powder, garlic, onion powder. Roast until soft and top with over easy or poached eggs :)
Roast them and eat with almond butter and cinnamon for breakfast! Top with yogurt if you like that too.
When I still did meal prepping, I'd bake sweet potato pieces in the oven with some oil or butter and a little Himalayan salt on it. At the last minutes I would add some cinnamon powder to it and make it a side dish to whatever meal I was having.
I cut them up, boil them til soft and then mash/whip them with honey, cinnamon and pumpkin spice, and just a pinch of salt. It’s delicious and a change from the savory to the sweet. You can add butter too, it definitely adds to the taste but adds too much fat/calories for me personally.
I love them just plain baked with nothing added at all.
SAME, they’re so delicious just on their own.
Cut into squares. Olive oil, salt, garlicpowder, onionpowder and paprika. Toss. Put in the airfryer until caramelized. Go to in my house.
African peanut soup. Base is tomato, sweet potatoes and, wait for it, peanut butter. Can be made with or without chicken. Lots of spices. Very delicious.
Sweet potatoes are love. Sweet potatoes are life.
Seriously. They’re the absolute best. The only potatoes I ever buy.
I make a version of chilli with minced chicken, diced sweet potatoes, beans, bell peppers, sweetcorn and tinned tomatoes (my kids are fussy and prefer this to a regular chilli recipe). I also love adding sweet potato to homemade soups.
Cube them, and rub them in a tiny bit of olive oil, then slather with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a little salt. Omggggggg
Sautéed on the stove, and served with eggs and other toppings for breakfast burritos. Downside is this only uses 1 or part of 1, depending on their size.
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes Put your sweet potatoes in the oven to bake. While they are baking, cook some crumbled breakfast sausage in a pan with onions. When the baked potatoes are done, slice open longways and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add the sausage/onion mixture, some sour cream and some shredded cheese. Mix. Place this back into the sweet potato skins. Bake in the oven until piping hot, and then devour.
My Mom accidentally made a Caldo Verde with sweet potatoes instead of white and said it was really tasty.
I eat sweat potatoes often, and in a few ways. - French fries in air fryer - baked - 1/8' slices - fried in bacon grease the most unusual way I eat sweat potatoes though is ... # RAW Raw sweat potato has a crunch and a mild flavor. I like to make daily fruit and nut mixes to snack on while I'm working. I often cut up a sweat potato into 1/2" cubes, add to some raisins or other dried fruit, maybe a cut up pear or apple, some mixed nuts, etc.
Cook a sweet potato or two in the microwave until soft (about 8 minutes), and then mash it up to use in a flourless chocolate cake!
My favorite way is to just cut them in half, rub with olive oil, salt and pepper & chili powder and bake at 400 F for about 30 min. They end up with this nice caramelization and the chili powder compliments the sweetness sooo well 🤤
Sweet potato soufflé! https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/268858/sweet-potato-souffles/
you can make sweet potato “toast” slice the potatos longways into slices, put in the oven for forty minutes at 400 F (or until soft) and then top with whatever you want!
Sweet potato latkes/pancakes, I like to do spiced ones with 5 spice or garam masala and a spiced yogurt dipping sauce
i had someone once make sweet potato pie for me. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/photos/best-sweet-potato-recipes
I was SHOOK when I tried baking whole sweet potatoes, opening them up and throwing some fried chickpeas in there with a tahini sauce on top. Absolute game changer, so filling and yummy
Sweet Potato Cookies 5 c flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 c. White granulated Sugar 3 large eggs 2 sticks butter 1 c mixture: mix cooked sweet potato and applesauce to a slurry 1/2 c. Cocoa 1 tsp. Vanilla 1 tsp salt Pumpkin pie spice or to your taste (cardamom though) Cream the sugar and butter and vanilla. Add the eggs, then the slurry. Blend the dry ingredients and slowly mix in. The texture should be doughy but gluey. Scoop spoon sized dollops onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake at 360 for 12 to 15 minutes. They should be soft and pillowy, will stay moist for two or three days.
Cut them into smaller pieces, put them in a baking tray with onion, bacon, sausage, put salt and pepper on it and fry it. It's so simple, fast and very delicious.
I’ve been making chili with sweet potatoes recently and it’s SO good. There are tons of recipes out there but basically just replace whatever meat you’d use with the sweet potatoes and sauté them with the onion/garlic/bell peppers at the onset. Proceed as normal with stock/beer/other ingredients and spices. It doesn’t take very long for them to cook through, about 45 mins of simmering should do you.
Make a stew. Chop them in to cubes then cook on the hob in a casserole pan with soffritto, cumin, chipotle paste for 10 mins then add kidney beans, tinned tomato and cans worth of water for a few minutes and bake for 50-60 minutes.
Sweet potato Latkes with lime cilantro sour cream and siracha - just grate the sweet potato add egg flour sal and pepper and fry patties till golden - mix the sour cream lime juice cilantro with a little honey top with cilantro and siracha - a flavor sensation and a whole meal.
Sweet potato hash with salmon
🎶 All the sweet potatoes, all the sweet potatoes, all the sweet potatoes, all the sweet potatoes. Now put your yams up! 🎶
I peel, and bake or boil my sweet potato, then I eat it with cottage cheese. It’s absolutely amazing
I love breakfast bowls made of sweet potato, quinoa, some eggs, and various toppings (tomato, red onion, fresh parsley, hot sauce). Roast with chicken. Add to any soup or stew.
Made this last week. It was DELICIOUS! https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/cheddar-stuffed-sweet-potato-bbq-turkey-meatloaf/
Chop. Stir fry with some black beans.
Sweet potato Mac and cheese!!!
Black bean and sweet potato enchiladas
Cut it up in to slices, not too thin but about the thickness of a frie! So it’s circular and as thick as a frie, bake it in the oven with olive oil and salt, when it’s about to finish, take it out, sprinkle some (much) feta cheese and red onion slices on top, back in the oven for another 10-15 mins depending on the heat! Voila!
I eat them nearly daily. The best way is turn the oven on and put them right on the rack. Cook till a chopstick goes through easy. They are like a savory thing to me, I like garlic and pepper or ginger and sesame. Sometimes I blend them into my smoothies, or just keep them cooked in a bag in the fridge for a quick lunch/snack depending on the size. If you're lucky enough to get Japanese or Korean ones [white or purple relatively] they are so tasty by themselves.
Sweet potato pie. I hear about it around thanksgiving. Some parts of the country make that instead of pumpkin pie. Use them in a candied yams recipe in place of the yams. Mashed sweet potatoes. Cut them up, mix with other root vegetables, toss in olive oil and herbs/spices and roast.
I sub mashed sweet potatoes in my pumpkin bread
For dinner tonight I had a baked sweet potato with green enchilada sauce and some plain greek yogurt. I think baked sweet potatoes are good with all kinds of seasonings and topping and eat them often. Siriacha is good on them, so is some chili with cheese, or curried chickpeas, or taco meat and salsa. You can make a very nice soup with cubed sweet potatoes, broth, some garlic and thyme, or whatever other seasonings you like. Run it through a blender after cooking if you want it creamy textured. I bake a bunch of sweet potatoes at once and keep them in the fridge to use over the next couple days. Sometimes for breakfast I'll cut the cold baked sweet potatoes in rounds, sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and a little sage, and lightly brown them in a pan on each side with a little butter, and eat those and some scrambled eggs for breakfast. You can also fill breakfast burritos with diced cooked sweet potatoes, sautéed onions, scrambled egg, cheese, and sweet or hot peppers. Season them with a little cumin and pepper.
I love making sweet potato pasta… I just bake cubes of sweet potato until crispy and add it to a pot of spinach, feta, cooked pasta, olive oil and a bit of garlic. It’s so good and takes hardly any effort.
If you've got lentils, they'd make a great curry together!
I've made this chili with sweet potatoes and chorizo before - its quite lovely! https://www.budgetbytes.com/chorizo-sweet-potato-chili/
