They're fine. Try them without the added sugar and spices, and just go salt/pepper and butter. Also roast them, not steamed. There's a nice natural caramelizing inside the skin when they are baked or roasted in chunks.

They're almost as low as gem squash on my list of favourite veg. Have you tried the ones with purple skin and white flesh? They're even worse than the type in your pic. For me the most palatable way of cooking them is to grate them and make veg fritters, and that's quite a lot of effort.

Uhh so apparently the ones with purple skins and white flesh are yams.

I feel the same about them. The taste and the texture are just weird. My brother once had a sweet potato dessert dish with raisins and he swears it was one of the greatest thing he had ever eaten, but he ate at friends of his and he didnt get the recipe.

You're not supposed to eat them, dummy. As the tapered end clearly indicates, they are designed for cramming.

I like to steam them, then peel and slice, and cook in some oil or butter until they start caramelizing. Tastes pretty good. Try just using salt and cinnamon or clove on them. They're already pretty sweet and the preparations that use more sugary stuff end up being too much like a dessert.

[Anonymous No.17175298]

>>17173335
OP, try Japanese sweet potatoes instead.

More mild, but still delectably sweet flavor. Throw in butter, salt and pepper with a small serving of shredded cheese and you're looking at a good time.

sweet potatoes are not yams
yams are a different tropical vining tuber species
calling sweet potatoes yams is misnaming via generic terms
I grow true yams (dioscorea)

those pictured are already cooked and thus good to eat directly out of the can, hot or cold.

if you wanted you could probably use them in some sort of casserole.

I haven't eaten one in years but that's how I did it as a kid. Although you had to foil them and/or put a tray under them because they'd sometimes leak caramelized sugar syrup in the oven

Just like "I'll eat this in an hour and half, time to warm up my family's oven from cold for a single 15 cent sweet potato"... it was pretty stupid now that I consider it

Unironically the only good way to eat sweet potato. Wash/scrub the skin well to get rid of any grime, wrap in foil, stick in oven.
Add a tiny bit of salt when ready, and eat. Anything more complex is just a waste of time. Also, I tend to eat them as a dessert meal.

Purple sweet potatoes are not sweet, but they are the healthiest. Yumskies.

[Anonymous No.17177062]

>>17176847
No need for foil as well as they have a thick skin. Just roast the fuck outta them and munch them while they're still hot. Only better way is to roast over fire or coal like these barrel things on the road in China.
