You can roast or mash them

Roast it! Mash it! Make chips! Treat it like an ordinary potato. It's a wonderful topping for shepherd's pie etc. Loads and loads can be done with it. It is gorgeous!

Sweet potato pie

boil 1/3rd sweet potato 2/3rd potato
Fried onion
Loads of cheese

Mashed all together
Put cheese on top

Grill to melt the cheese

Serve with baked beans
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

Peel, cut into chunky chip-type bits, put on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with herbs, bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes at 200C.

heck, what have i been doing with myself for the past 35 years to have missed out on all this!

i have 3 of the oh-so-versatile jobbies in the fridge and promise to do something wonderful with them tomorrow evening.

Would do a sort of Pacific stew with it.
Poach chicken,greens and pimpkin in coconut milk and chilli.Eat with brown rice.

Anything you can do with a normal potato. Stab it and stick it in the microwave for 10 minutes (or the oven for an hour, if you have patience). Open, add lots of butter, eat. Yum.

And if you do mash it, quickly toast some sesame seeds (in a pan, not the toaster ) and sprinkle them over... the two go together really well.

you can also put them in veggie curry (as I have in fact done this very evening)

Moondog's pimpkin made me

'pimpkin'
lol!!

Apparently pimp style is all the rage with the young 'uns so pretty apt I feel.

I'd like to shove it up several peoples arses

If you mash it, put some half fat creme fraiche and minced garlic with it instead of butter or oil or whatever - it is fantastic with roast chicken and doesn't need any other seasoning.

There is a recipe here for Sweet Potato

shove it up dh's arse atm
