8. Very healthy if you bake them

rather than fry them.

I baked mine drizzled with a little olive oil and some seasoned salt. :9

6. Yes they do, don't they?

Or sweet potato chips, as I would call them. The name doesn't matter. What matters is that they taste great.

30. just

slice then real thin and put em in hot oil for about 15 - 30 seconds

I also like sweet potato hash browns with breakfast or any meal .... or by themselves.

baked sweet potatoes w/ butter

etc., etc., etc.

Sometimes I'll bake 5 on Sunday and put them in the fridge still in the faoil and then have one for lunch each day at work.

20. I tried to find it

but I couldn't lay my hands on it at the time, oddly enough. :P

Whole Paycheck makes some with a cayenne pepper mix that is out of this world.

25. Hard to say

If it's the sweetness they don't like, using savory treatments puts the sweet in the background (but it's still sweeter than a white potato.)

Sweet potatoes really do make great fries. You just have to find a condiment that you like.

28. I was never a fan of sweet potatoes but I like the fries. Then, out of necessity,

I learned to love sweet potatoes as well. I realized that I just don't like the overly sweet, gooey, marsh-mallow and brow-sugar laden sweet potatoes. But baked sweet potatoes with just some simple seasoning or sweet potatoes in curry are wonderful.

They really are so good for you that it's worth a try.
