hi,friend,i ate many times,in my childhood days....we used to boil them as it is and eat along with sugar touch...some times when we go fields we fry them in a fire and eat after removing the peel.

Hi Mar,

Appreciating that you have a good mentality to read all the good books
in order to develop the knowledge on the health issue, Well done and
keep it up. YEA it is true that sweet potato would contains lots of
vitamins and minerals along with excellent source of Betacarotene, which
are having the great role in the life of our skin. As you have well
familiar on Carotene and beta carotene both are very important in the
healthy and beauty of the skin, that was the reasons most of the Asian
peoples including YOU and ME would like to enjoy this sweet potato
all the days or at least twice in a week to enjoy entire benefits to our
skin.

Have a great day.

Well, we do eat sweet potatoes from time to time. The Japanese variety is the most expensive.At home, we cook them with porridge. At other times, we have them in soup. some are powdery when you bite into them while others are more solid in the sense that they have 'body'. Yet other flake off especially if they are poached.

I am so glad you started this discussion! I used to make a beef stew using sweet potatoes and haven't done it in a long time. I made it similar to regular beef stew, only adding sweet potatoes instead of regular ones. Then I put in beans (red or black), green beans, corn and tomatoes. (can't have enough 'toes'). For seasonings I used chili powder, cumin, a bit of oregano and salt and pepper.
It's a visually appealing dish with all the different colors, and a little different than what most people are used to. Hmmmmm....I think I'll make that tonight. Thanks!

I don't prepare them myself, but rather I eat them outside at a restaurant. I wasn't brought up with a lot of home cooked meals, and potatos I make in the micro- wave oven or boil them on the stove top in water. I don't believe in drenching food in tons of syrup or sugars. It ruins the taste of the potato when you make a candied yam the wrong way.

Yes, yams or Sweet Potatoes are very healthy for you. I love sweet potatoes.

Interesting post. I had no idea that they could help your skin, I knew they were better for you than white potatoes though. Unfortunately, I hate the taste except in sweet potato casserole. I guess I will have to find ways to make them so that I and my family will eat them.
Thanks for the post!
