How do you prepare sweet potatoes?
I tried a bag of sweet potato fries a few weeks back and I liked it a lot, so I bought some and tried boiling them, but they were really nothing special. Like I'd pick regular potatoes over them any day of the week, and for pretty much any dish.
How do you prepare them? I thought about baking them next. Maybe boil them a little first and then baking them as well

Yeah I just bake em, peel off the skins, and mash em on the plate with a tiny bit of butter on top. They bake quicker than regular potatoes and bleed more juice out during baking so keep your eye out for that

It is best to allow a cow to digest them ahead of time, then take it as a delightful curry. It's possible to feed a cow lentils and spices as well at the same time, directly, the spices really marry on the way through. In India we call this a double curry. It's quite common to find in shops in villages and the cities too.

cut them up and steam them in a pressure cooker. The skin is edible.

They are an odd tuber, they walk a fine line between being too sweet for savoury and too savoury for sweet.
Best left to expert chefs imo.

I agree with making mashed potatoes with them. Since they're a on the sweeter side (more so than something like a yukon gold), you could also play around with adding some vinegar (apple maybe) or maybe something spicy or more umami (msg maybe or some condiment). But mashed sweet potatoes are good. A similar option would be to make a puree out of it (not just alone, you know, do something with it), dollop onto some green pea + mint soup, or use it sparingly as a sauce on a savory sandwich.

Making fried out of em wouldn't be bad - fried sweet and salty is a nice combo. But idk if you'd love em over potato fries.

A weirder option would be to make fufu with yams or yuca, and add some sweet potatoes.

I love doing this
Cube a few russets, pressure cook for 3 mins.
Toss with oil and salt. Potatoes get this nice starchy texture.
Season how you like and air fry for 15 minutes.

Perfect breakfast potatoes with eggs. Weekend stuff unless you are a neet.

If the skin is smooth and clean, just wash it, then you can boil it and eat it with rice, rice and sweet potato -- the poor asian' meal. You can also chop it up and fry it with bacon or side pork. If the skin is dirty looking, uneven so hard to get clean, you have to peel it It's so cheap, if it's too uneven for the peeler just slice it away.

With all vegetable that was in the ground like potatoes or sweet potatoes, you want to wash the surface really well in case of e coli, but if you are frying in in high heat, even if the skin is uneven you don't have to peel, you can eat the skin.

Do you never eat sea salt chocolate caramels? Put sweet cranberry sauce on lambchops? Dip your fries in milkshake?

either hot and fast or very low and slow. anything in the middle will be soggy and unsatisfying.

>>21563003 (OP)
They are nice in some ways other anons have detailed, I also dice them and throw them into curry. If you're into frying you can cut 3-4mm slices and tempura them. If you want to make fries, put them in a bowl, coat in cornflour, mist with water and toss, coat with cornflour again, mist and toss again, and finally one more coat of cornflour, then fry.

I like cubing them, mixing with regular potatoes and pan frying them. It provides a fun variety of flavour.

>>21563003 (OP)
I cut them up like fries, ferment them in salt water for about a day (don't do it to long or it will taste too funky), coat in olive oil and bake in the oven. Also never peel off the skin like some of the faggots suggest in this thread.

I'm not the guy you're talking to, but no, I don't do that shit, I hate sweet and salty, sweet and savory. I know I'm weird and in the minority, but I don't eat the two things together. I like my sweets sweet, I like my savory savory, I don't like combining the two.

Sweet potato pies are a thing. Make a pie
