We love sweet potatoes too. We just had mashed cream-cheese sweet potatoes last night. You bake six until tender through, peel them, mash them in a pot, then heat them up with a 1/3 cup of skim cream cheese, a tablespoon of unsalted butter, and skim milk to the desired consistency. Salt lightly, add two tablespoons of dark brown sugar, 1/2 to 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (to taste), about 1/4 teaspoon of fresh ground nutmeg.

We also make sweet potato hash browns with them. You need a couple of good sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes; a whole sweet onion, chopped; 1 seeded and chopped golden or red bell pepper (optional); salt to taste. You put it all in the skillet together with a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil and cook until tender. The onions will caramelize and the potatoes will have lovely caramelized outsides and tender insides.

We also make the hash browns with just sweet potato and onion, then toss them with cinnamon just before serving.
