Set sweet potatoes aside until cool enough to handle, or run cold water over them to quick-cool if you're not using them right away. For an easy side dish, you can simply toss cooked sweet potato cubes with butter, salt, and pepper, and serve. Or use the cooked sweet potato cubed or mashed in quesadillas , pot pies , and other sweet and savory casseroles.

Sweet Potatoes are done when they are fork tender. Boiling may actually retain most of the antioxidant power of sweet potatoes, compared to roasting and steaming. Therefore, from a nutritional standpoint, boiling rather than baking should be recommended for cooking sweet potato. You do not need to peel sweet potatoes before boiling. If leaving the peel on, you will need to pierce the skin of the potato with a fork a few times. Also, boiling a sweet potato with the peel will require slightly more time for it to cook through.
Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potatoes, and set them on the baking sheet. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the skin has puffed up and you can easily pierce them with a fork. Most helpful positive review Lisa Ingram. Rating: 5 stars. Everyone loved this, including my youngest daughter who can be quite picky when it comes to vegetables.

These were okay - just a little too sweet for me but my daughter really enjoyed this. Still, thanks rainspirit for sharing the recipe. Reviews: Most Helpful. Lisa Ingram. Billy Zero. Nice complement to pecan breaded chicken made from this site. Makes girls like me more. Which is peculiar since my charming personality should be enough. I essentially made this but with a slight twist. It was delicious! I will definitely make it again.
On a side note I've also made this with a crisp. To do that put the finished mash into a casserole dish.
