Sauteed Sweet Potatoes

Found myself at another house making dinner for three children. There were NO vegetables, fresh or otherwise, (they had just moved in) but I found two large sweet potatoes. I was told that they were not liked, but I needed a veggie.....so this came about.... nice and soft inside, crispy outside.
