Whats the best way to cook sweet potato?

Hi Mitchell
The sweet potato is quite versatile. My favourite way is to leave the skin on a bake for approx 1 hour, then scoop out the flesh and mash, I add a little milk but that is just to make it a little creamier.
The way in which you cook it is just about your preference for taste. It can be peeled and cut into approximately 2-3 inch pieces drizzle a little oil and roasted. It can be peeled, cubed and boiled and when cooked you can mash it. It is great to make soup out of, it's a nice alternative as a topping on Shepherd or cottage pie. You can make it into an delicious potato salad. You can mash it with other root vegetables like, carrots, swede and parsnips. The list is endless.

I suppose what ever your taste, anything you add to it will add to the calorie content, so I suppose it just depends on how many of those a day you allow yourself.

I hope that helps

I just cut it into cubes and boil it in water until it feels soft (about 10 minutes - faster than potatoes) and then mash it. I'll add milk and possibly butter depending upon my current goals (whether I'm trying to gain muscle or lose fat).

ok thanks for the advice

Hello Mitchell.

I quite enjoy sweet potato chips.

Simply cut into chips and oven bake. If you make a big batch, you can also snack on them like a bag of crisps. This is great when you are carbing up.

Im all about speed..So microwave for 6 mins max then scoop out and mash only a drizzle of skimmed milk is needed and if you want to be naughty add some flora proactive to it or if you are having devil horns butter :)
