Who else loves sweet potatoes!? I like to make mine the simple way: bake them in the oven, cut it into halves, and then drizzle them with just enough honey to add some extra sweetness. Delectable! There is no other vegetable on earth that tastes as good and is as soothing as a sweet potato.

I used to hate them, but they've grown on me. I could go for a bowl of that, or maybe fried in tempura. Never tried to prepare them myself.

I swear everybody who says they hate sweet potatoes says so because either they've had them from the can, or because they were prepared horribly. Try baking one in the oven and see how you like it.

I don't like them, but I've heard that it's supposedly good if you prepare them with marshmallows.

I love sweet potatoes!

Sweet potato oven fries, sweet potato shoestring fries, baked sweet potato, sweet potato pie, mashed sweet potatoes, sweet potato casserole with brown sugar and pecans and possibly with marshmallows, curried sweet potato... I haven't met a sweet potato I haven't liked!

Here's one of my favorite recipes:

Mmm love them.

Only fresh ones will do. Those can ones are horrible. Blegh.

I'll even eat the canned ones, and I hate canned vegetables. :blush: Sweet potatoes remind me of the teacher telling you you can use the book on the test. :D They're legit, but they feel like you're cheating!

They've got a sale at the store today, 3 pounds for only a buck :D. Tis the season for sweet potatoes. I need to learn how to preserve them though.

Sweet potatoes are awesome. Try them with butter and chili powder on top--works on sweet potato fries OR baked sweet potato. Sounds weird, but it's really yummy!

Oh yeah. :nice:

I'll never forget the day that the grocery store had them on sale for $0.39 / pound.

I just bought some sweet potato "french fries." I can't wait to try them. Don't know why I haven't gotten around to it already!

I can eat the canned ones as long as they aren't cooked. I like the fresh ones baked, buttered, and sprinkled with brown sugar.

I planted a few in the spring and should probably try digging them up soon. The plants are very pretty and seem to have survived being overgrown with cantaloupe vines and weeds.

I love sweet potato casserole and things like that, but just the potatoes I really dislike for some reason. I just don't like them.

On a related note my mom always bakes a couple of sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving. She grows her own organic sweet potatoes too. :wubbie:

I love sweet potato pie! I make some for Thanksgiving as well. To me, sweet potato pie is an improved pumkin pie.
I don't like the casserole with the marshmallows on top, though. My mother-in-law makes one that's topped with pecans and brown sugar that is much better than the marshmallow topping.
I also love sweet potatoes themselves, baked, with nothing more than a touch of unsalted butter....man, I'm drooling now!
