I just boil them up and mash them with brown sugar and butter and a little salt and pepper on top.

My mother-in-law fed me this one. It sounds weird, but actually is quite good!

Bake the sweet potato (usually for one hour at 350). Place butter and dill relish on it and eat it like a baked potato. I didn't think the relish would be good, but it complements the flavor quite well. (make sure it's dill and NOT sweet relish) Now it's one of my favs!

I've been making a Tyler Florence recipe for the past two years, but only for Thanksgiving. The sweet potatoes are roasted, along with a few bananas. Then they are all mashed up together with lots of butter and honey and topped with a buttery pecan crumble and baked.

Its yummy. When I was a kid, we only had canned sweet potates topped with some sugary marshmellow stuff- NASTY! I didn't even realize I like sweet potates until I tried real ones.

We often make mashed potatos with them. Cut 'em into 1-inch chunks (leave the skins on), boil 'em, mash 'em, add a little bit of butter and salt and pepper. (No brown sugar - yuck. )

Have you tried to add a nice ripe banana and a dash of cinnamon? Heavenly!

My hubby and I also like to simply roast them with some olive oil, S/P, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

I've never heard of putting a banana in with mashed sweet potatoes. And to be honest, it doesn't sound very appealing to me. But maybe it's one of those things where it tastes better than it sounds?

Roasting with olive oil sounds good though.

I love sweet potato pancakes...make 'em just like you would make potato pancakes....shred them up, mix with onion, egg, a little flour.....saute in butter....etc

Mashed banana-sweet potato is one of the side dishes at Naked Fish along with coconut rice and other exotic side dishes. If it wasn't for them I would never have tried it either. Somehow, it just works.

I never would have tried banabas with the sweet potatoes it if I hadn't seen it on the Food Network. But, yes, I have to agree, the combo works.
