I got sweet potatoes from my CSA and now I have to figure out how to cook them. Does anyone have a recipe they like?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know librarians that wouldn't do that... but more of us that would. so I put it on face book -- and I keep watching it. Might learn the moves

sweet potato pie.
and they don't need much sugar if you do 'em that way -- orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar plus a couple of eggs to lighten. mmm. No I have no idea of how much of anything ... i just toss.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Slice in half-inch slices--if the tuber is more than 1.5 inches diameter, slice in half lengthwise first. You need chunks about an inch to an inch and a half by a half-inch thick. Melt a little (actual, unsalted) butter in a nonstick pan, add sweet potato slices, stir and cook till edges are just browned. Sprinkle with ground ginger, black pepper, and dill weed. Add a tiny bit of water and cover, reduce heat to steam for four to six minutes, until slices are fork tender. Serve.

Okay, so, I feel bad for plunging into your lovely and well-established thread to be like HELLO I'M NEW because I can clearly see that you all are quite the close community and probably don't need any silly newbies running about, but here I am.
I'm not sure how I never stumbled across this website before? But there was a link to the FAQ about the BBoC on a Television Without Pity Vampire Diaries recap (don't judge, please, I am clearly just a sucker for vampires) and I ended up reading the whole FAQ and laughing a whole bunch and so here I am.
Carry on!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Welcome zuisa!
I made some sweet potatoes recently that went over well-- baked in the oven until soft, skins removed, mashed with lime juice. Low fat and went well under fish.
For any ingredient you are stuck with, always look at epicurious, I'm pretty sure I found the idea there.

Welcome, zuisa!
My simple approach to sweet potatoes is to cut them into chunks, pour some orange juice over them and cook covered until they're soft (oven or stovetop).
