    I like that we have some sweet potato fans in the community. :) 

    Best way of cooking them?   It's got to be sweet potato fries right?

    I like sweet potato I must say.

    Goes well in soups as a filler + taste improver.

    Sweet Potatoes ... tried one once ... was 'sweet' ...I've got a weird hang up that a savoury meal shouldn't be sweet at all ... no raisins in curry, no pineapple on pizza, no mint sauce with lamb if it's shop bought etc ... 

    eg.  I make a satay sauce that uses 4 tbs of sugar but can't taste the sweetness so it's fine  :|
    Would it taste the same without ?  Doubt it

    Sweet and sour sauce ... just blows my mind, can't comprehend/ process it

    People are right ... I'm weird ...

    See, I used to think the same about sweetness in a savoury dish, but sometimes it really goes together depending.

    While they aren't "sweet" almonds make me think of sweet dishes, but putting scoop of ground almonds into a curry is delicious I've found. Really compliments the flavours.

    I'm all for sweet with spicy.  I make a chilli con carne that will blow your head off, but I always put sugar and chocolate in it and serve it with soured cream.  

    But served with rice, not potatoes. :P

    Dauphinoise, but I never have the energy to make them so usually roasted. Those are easy 🙂

    I like them boiled. Great to go with gravy on a Sunday roast or eat with a bit of butter when having picks like with salad and cold cuts :)

    Roast
    Roasties all the way! Although I'm also a big fan of some proper chip shop chips when they're cooked well. Chips in all forms are good, but proper chips wrapped in paper are the best.

    It has to be the go to food if you were stuck on 'desert island', so much versatility and variety of things you could make with potatoes. Must remember to keep a potato with me at all times.  :)
