My friend takes them as an airport travel breakfast. Simply slow cooked whole, literally taking it out of her pocket claiming it already comes with a jacket; it’s her pocket potato, she’s a big fan.

Instead of corn chips, layer sp slices in a pan, then a layer of ‘shrooms, another layer of black beans, then your fave sheesh, bake until sip’s are done, then top with cilantro, diced tomatoes, salsa, green onions…
I can’t remember where I got this recipe but it’s fab!

Or sliced, oiled, your fave herbs/spices, roasted, then dipped in a garlicky aioli!

I’ve made a sweet potato soup with pecan butter and another time swirled some chocolate in it for Valentine’s Day. According to Ayurveda, sweet potatoes are very grounding for people who suffer with conditions like high anxiety and insomnia.
