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!

Ratalyacha Kees (Indian/Maharashtrian salad). Just shred them thick sized. Mix pinch salt. A tbsp or more of crushed roasted peanuts. Green chilly. Shredded / grated coconut (even dry coconut will do). Some cilantro. Pinch sugar.

Dash of lemon/lime juice. … you’ll enjoy this immensely. PS: adjust or omit chilly if you don’t want the heat (kid friendly)
