I like it baked whole. The caramelisation is just wonderful. Sliced and fried is good too, with or without batter.

This italian place by my work has sweet potato chips. They sprinkle them with some Parm and I coat them with salt, delicious.

Sweet potato fries rule.

Also, for Thanksgiving two years ago I was studying abroad in China and managed to make a sweet potato casserole using sweet potatoes bought from a street vendor. Got like half a dozen of them, mashed them together with butter and brown sugar from the local supermarket, and made a topping out of butter and brown sugar with pecans set in it.

Pretty simple recipe with few ingredients, but the results were GODLY. I was amazed at what I was able to make in a country where many standard grocery items aren't available.

Mix up mashed sweet potatoes, sliced apples, cinnamon, sugar, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese to melt on the top.

Sweet potatoes are horrible. An abomination. There should be a folk tale about how sweet potatoes did something to wrong one of the ancient gods and their awful flavor is their punishment, and thus should not be eaten lest the eater become tainted with the disfavor of the ancients.
