Sweet Potatos

[Mrs Seabiscuit]

I`ve got a couple of sweet potato's whats the best way to cook them (seabiscuit doesn't like mash so not mash).

 

[rotters]

Rosemary and garlic roasted sweet potatoes with lamb chops lush!

I often cut them into wedges, coat in olive oil with a little salt and pepper and roast. Only take a few minutes. Or just on their own, baked in the oven, with a tub of cottage cheese dumped on top.

Another vote for the wedges but with cajun seasoning on them - bootiful !

Love them roasted with red onions, garlic cloves, peppers, potatoes, salt and olive oil.

Roasted or in a pie

 

[Glaucus]

No mash wtf mash is amazing.

Another vote for wedges.

Peel, cut into chunks, rinse under cold water, boil them for 8 minutes or so then put in a roasting tin with olive or ground nut oil/season and I like to put fresh rosemary and thyme over them.

40 minutes at 200oC fan but I tend to check after ½ hour (depends on size of chunks as well of course!)

They make great chips/wedges as well, little bit healthier.

I tried the following recipie for chunky chips but used a sweet potato instead and they came out really nice although you couldn't tell just by looking if they were done.

I can never get them crispy when I roast them as chips/wedges.

Ground nut oil + Cajun on wedges in the oven = awesome

 

[Pestilence]

ROASTED.

 

[arc@css]

I roast 'em.

 

[Mrs Seabiscuit]

Roasted wins I think.

Oven's not hot enough then.

Oven's not hot enough then.

That's what I thought but last time it was 240C and they were either burned or soft

Roast and mash, then add breadcrumbs, olive oil and goats cheese for the ultimate veggie burger. Plenty of salt and pepper too.

Did you par boil them first? Was the oil spitting hot when you took the tray out of the oven?

How big where the chunks?

I had the same issue as TheBrooder because I had to compromise on the temp as I was cooking something else alongside.
