Sweet Potatos

[TheBrooder]

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'll have another go!

Quite like them raw, usually eat a lot of it when peeling, before it hits the pan!

Wedges or literally just bung it in the oven and bake it, they are epic either way <3 sweet potatoes

Roast 'em!

 

[DirtyJester]

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

Don't forget to salt them well and keep turning / shaking them during the roasting

Boil them up, let them cool, cut them into wedges and roast in a VERY hot oven with olive oil, sat, pepper and a few chilli flakes.

Wedges/chips are a great idea, secondly would be a sweet potato curry.

Some great ideas, thanks everyone.
Well we had them as roasties, but our oven can be quite fierce at high temperatures and they were perhaps a bit more caramelised than desired at the corners. I'm not a convert to sweet potato's over regular ones as yet, but I'm not put off giving them another chance.

I could give up regular potatoes in a second. In fact I can count on one hand the number of times a month I have regular potatoes.

Sweet for the win!

Thinly sliced and roasted or shallow fried. Basically turn them into sweet potato crisps.
