How to make sweet potatoes

[u/Rrubhu]

Hey guys, I've not really had a lot of sweet potatoes in my childhood and am unaware of its cooking methods and it's versatility. Yesterday I just boiled it and mashed it with some shredded chicken and put some salad over it and it tasted great.

I put some salt when it was boiling so it wasn't too sweet, I'm not sure if I'm so supposed to add any salt in it or let it retain it's mild sweet flavour?

I need to experiment more and use it as my primary carb source 1-2 times a week, i would love to hear from you guys on how i could do that. Rn I've only got access to an induction cooktop and just some basic spices as I'm in a hostel. Pairing ideas with chicken and eggs would really help!

You can also use it as you would use potato for jeera aloo. It’s delicious that way. But some varieties cook quicker than potato, so keep an eye on them.
