Has anyone got an fantastic ideas as to what I can do with a sweet potato?

The only thing I have ever done is part boil and than roast. It is such a lovely vegetable and I would appreciate some help with it.

Thank you in advance!!!

I always bake my sweet potato, in aluminum foil in the oven (or grill). You can also bake then mash them, melting a few marshmallows on top in the oven.

with a sweet potato?

Bubble,
Do you have several sweet potatoes or just one?
I HAVE the recipes!

There are a lot of things you can do with sweet potatoes. The most important thing to remember is that they are very healthy and can be eaten like a baked potato. My dad used to back them and instead of butter he put molasess on it.

That sounds great, Farris!!

A lot of folks are not aware the the sweet potato has many of the elements of other 'root plants' but also packs a wallop in vitamin A, which is believed to be very beneficial to the eyes.

At this very moment I have none, but I can alway pop to the supermarket and buy as many as I need for your recepies!!!

I had no idea you could bake them, so I will give that a try next, It will be simple enough to do.

white potatoes.

My mother used to slice firm sweet potatoes thin and cook the "medallions? in butter. It's a nice change for baking them.
