Things to do with sweet potatoes

Try putting chunks in a slow cooker with red lentils,red Thai curry paste, stock,chopped shallots,garlic, turmeric,garam masala, tomato purée. Cook on high fir 3/4 hrs. Stir in canned coconut milk to serve.
Really delicious.

That sounds lovely.
I shall give it a try.

Wow, lucky you MissAdventure, I tried growing them a few years ago from splits but not one came up. Your secret please?!

An ordinary potato can be added to sweet potato soup to dilute that dreadful sweetness!

I just peel and cut small, then steam them to accompany salmon.
Rather bland, I know, but they make a change from white spuds.
Also, mash them up with a few white ones, but must admit, they can be a trifle soggy.

My post hasn't appeared either. So again MissAdventure do let me know your success in growing sweet potatoes. I have tried to grow them from splits but to no avail. Believe they are very good for you and low in calories. Do buy at the supermarkets and make lovely tasty soup with them.

Oh my post has just turned up!

I usually roast them with a mix of other veggies, butternut squash/onion/carrot/courgette/garlic. Drop of olive oil and seasoning. Any leftovers make into soup.

To those who say they make soggy mash, try baking them whole and then mashing.
This is what I do.

Well, my toaster is now clogged up with curly pieces of burnt (but still soggy) sweet potatoes, so I shall try some of the other suggestions.
