"This Thanksgiving my boyfriend's step mom's daughter-in-law, Kim, brought this sweet potato casserole for our feast. Not being a huge fan of sweet potatoes, I was reluctant to try it. Boy am I glad I did! It isn't as sweet as most sweet potato casseroles and doesn't have tons the marshmallow goop on it. I begged her for the recipe so..."

Ingredients: cream, eggs...

"This is the BEST way to eat a sweet potato. We have baked sweet potatoes with our steaks instead of Idaho potatoes. It's a nice complement to chicken and beef - or any other meat that I can think of! This can also be made on the grill or tossed in the coals if you are camping!"

Ingredients: cinnamon, granulated sugar...

"It wouldn't be the holidays without them! This casserole side dish can be made with just a hint of sweet or decadent enough for dessert! The pecan streusel caramelizes on top to make a pecan-pie like topping. This is one of those family recipes that you may need to play with the ingredient amounts a bit."

Ingredients: cinnamon, pecans...

"These fries are made from sliced sweet potatoes and baked in the oven until crisp on the outside and chewy inside. Delicious!!!"

Ingredients: pepper, garlic powder...

"The nifty thing about this refreshing salad is ... the sweet potatoes are raw. Yes, it can be done! This salad is similar to one created by Charlie Myers at The Gumbo Pot at the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles. It has to be made in advance and sit overnight, so that the raw sweet potatoes can soften and all the flavors can meld properly."

Ingredients: Dijon mustard, dried currants...

"These are the best sweet potatoes ever. My mother taught me how to make these and it is a tradition at our home to have them. We never have any left. You can double the batch for big family gatherings too. We do all the time. I am now getting my husbands family hooked on these wonderful potatoes.:)"

Ingredients: miniature marshmallows, sweet potatoes...

"This was a huge success at Thanksgiving Dinner...not one bite left! Apples give these sweet potatoes a new twist! A nice company dish that can be prepared a day ahead, refrigerated, and baked just before serving. Cooking time does not include pre-baking sweet potatoes."

Ingredients: dark rum, fresh lemon juice...

"This is a very simple recipe for candied yams but big on flavor, it's a must served along side of a Thanksgiving turkey or ham dinner ---the yams must be prebaked in oven *only* not boiled and just until fork tender do not bake until very soft and this may be done up to a day ahead --- this may be doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan,..."

Ingredients: dark brown sugar, pecans...

"This is a family favorite! You can add in some cumin, cayenne and cinnamon too. You might want to increase the recipe to 3 pounds of sweet potatoes along with the other ingredients, these are so good! If you are adding in the cumin, cayenne and cinnamon, then omit fresh garlic. Yield is only estimated depending on the size of pancake."

Ingredients: pepper, eggs, garlic...

"This recipe is one of the simplest you'll find, and the yummiest for sure! (It's sweet enough to be a dessert.) I have not met one person who did not love this. The sweetened condensed milk is what makes this recipe. See my note on how to cook the sweet potatoes."

Ingredients: eggs, mashed sweet potatoes...

"I bake this in a foil dish on my outdoor grill, either way oven or out door grill these are delicious!"

Ingredients: corn syrup, salt...

"This comes from one of my many cookbooks. Sweet potatoes add color and a slightly sweet flavor. You can also try yams for even more color."

Ingredients: ground cumin, low-sodium low-fat chicken broth...

"An easy to throw together recipe that I made to accompany several meals over the Festive period this year. The trick for these roasted roots is to cook them en papillote (in a paper parcel) for the first 30 minutes - almost oven steaming them, before opening up the paper and allowing them to brown and go crunchy and crispy around the edges! Sprinkle..."

Ingredients: parchment paper, fresh ground black pepper...

"My cousin and I came up with this simple recipe, when she overbaked the sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving Dinner. They tasted great! I don't really like sweet potatoes, but I took thirds on this one."
