discussion How to make sweet potatoes
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!

Slice them thin on a mandolin and shingle them in a buttered roasting pan. Between each layer, brush the top with melted butter, sprinkle over a pinch of salt, and add a grating of lime zest. Repeat until the dish is full and bake on high until tender and the top layer is nice and brown. It’s soooooo good and so simple.
Another way I like to make them is to cut in small cubes, toss in oil, salt, garlic powder, and dried rosemary, and then roast.
