  You could do sweet potatoe fries. You just cut them into frys sprinkle some chili powder on them and bake them in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes. I got this recipe from my sister and they tasted great.

  Tried them with apple?

  Peel potatoes, slice across and boil. Core, peel, and slice apples. Grease baking dish and fill with alternate layers of potatoes and apples. Put butter, sugar and salt over top, pour over the milk, and bake one hour,–no longer.

  You could try simply mashing them with a bit of butter-they are really easy and delicious (adding some marshmallows doesn’t hurt either)

  You could also try making sweet potato fries-just cut them into strips and you could even bake them so they’re not too unhealthy-add whatever seasonings you like
