One lonely sweet potato, already peeled...

Don't know how many you'd need - but how about sweet potato pie?

Sadly, that delicious wonder of a pie takes 2-3 taters :( I was wishing she would make a mini one and bring it over ;)

I go for the fries. I cut them in good size slices toss them in olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt and Mrs. Dash. They take a long time to cook in the oven so I put the potato in the microwave before I toss it with the oil then I bake until it's really well done.

Roasted vegetables...dice up root veggies such as white/red/sweet potatoes, parsnips, butternut squash, carrots, onions, whole garlic cloves toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs or seasonings of choice...such as herbs de provence or rosemary or cayenne or curry or thyme & bake until tender and carmelized. I do it low & slow in oven. Stir occasionally.

Couponwitch...that sounds good! But I'd have to figure out a totally meatless way to make it, since I'm allergic to beef, pork, and poultry. But, I love a challenge!!

Just for the record, I chunked up the sweet potato with some carrots, turnips, white potatoes and onions and made a pan of roasted root veggies. I used garlic, black pepper and thyme to season them. It was great!

[chitownmelli]

XU, you could use those meatless ones from Morningstar farms in the freezer section. Yum!
