You can also peel and cut up into fries or cubes then freeze for future meals.

I like them cubed, roasted and mixed with lightly roasted kale, all tossed in a little miso butter (with a little brown sugar in it, if you like) and served over brown rice or farro or whatever grain you like. Add some cubed tofu for a more complete meal.

I love roasting veggies and do a lot of sweet potato, garlic, onion, rosemary, parsnip etc combos. It is great to then put it over farro that's been cooked in a broth with some wilted greens, topped with a flavoured balsamic and yum! With the leftover potatoes I recently made Sweet Potato Black Been Burritos. So good!

This salad https://food52.com/recipes... only uses 2 sweets, but it is so delicious, it has become a weekday staple for our lunchboxes. You really should try it.

Sweet potatoes make extremely tasty home made fermented soda drink. It doesn't sound like they would, but the drink is excellent. It's mentioned in Sandor Katz's book Art of Fermentation. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/sweet-potato-fly-recipe
I tried it several times and we love it.

If you happen to have Marie Simmons' Fresh & Fast Vegetarian cookbook, her curried sweet potato wedges are fabulous.

Sweet potato fries baked in the oven will use up some.

Roasted sweet potatoes with lemon, evoo, garlic, slices, capers yum
EricaMay 24, 2014
Mmmm... Sounds good, and I love the ease of roasting. Capers, 'huh? I never would have thought of it, but again, makes sense - salty/sweet/lemon-y combo. I might try this one cuz it sounds so easy and like it may be surprisingly good!

Last year I made a sweet potato potato salad, with black beans, cumin, scallions and olive oil. It was an experiment so I don't have a recipe. But everyone loved it, even the picky and conservative eaters. Probably included a bit of salt and pepper and might have added a touch of honey. Would be great for a Memorial Day picnic!

I'm pretty sure I've got all these ingredients on hand, and with a BBQ to attend Sunday, this one just might be it!

The late great Richard Sax has a wonderful sweet potato pie in his 1994 "Classic Home Desserts" compendium. Here is an online adaption of his recipe: http://thebakingpan.com/recipes/pies-and-tarts/sweet-potato-pie/

I just love it mashed with butter and a little chipotle in adobo. Anything spicy and/or smoky is delicious with sweet potatoes.

Especially if you have more than you can eat soon, because it freezes really well like this.
EricaMay 24, 2014
Mmmm... Sounds like a good combo to balance the 'sweet'
