A dusting of flour helps with the crisping.

Sorry MissA, I'm no help because I can't bear them. They completely befuddle my taste buds by being a vegetable but they're so sweet and sugary. I'd put them on the compost heap. Or take them to a food bank?

Thanks, riverwalk.
I shall give that a go.

Slice them thickly so they stay upright, place skin side down, high heat.

Oh that sounds nice.
I would really enjoy that. smile

I have never been able to get them crispy, sorry. You could make soup. Add chunks of butternut squash and garlic. Liquidise for a smooth soup. Add coconut milk.

Hmmm, just thought; I always peel them for wedges.
Perhaps the answer is to leave the skin on?

They always come out quite soggy when I roast or bake them.

Is there a knack to getting them at least slightly crispy?

Leave skin on, slice into thick wedges, spray with oil and roast on a high heat.

When cool you can freeze them.

Or bake as with a normal potato.

It's a long story, but I am overrun with them, and wondering what to make with them.

Any suggestions, please?
P.S I don't like cooking.
