Nici Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I would like to have a baked sweet potato, however I'm not sure what to put on it as sweet potatoes have their own distinctive flavour. Does anyone have any ideas please? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I love baked sweet potato with just a knob of butter - delicious! Also nice if you grate a little fresh nutmeg onto the flesh, or even some cinamon - anice twist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esiotrot Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I usually put Creme Fraiche on baked Sweet Potato - sometimes mix some garlic or paprika with the Creme Fraiche. I cant think of any other fillings I have put in, when I bake them I usually have them along with chicken or salmon and salad.

Echo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like to bake the sweet potato just by itself, and then I make a sauce by heating up some orange juice and honey in a saucepan, with a pinch each of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knitnat Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Nothing...they are great by themselves. Or maybe a little bit of butter after you have dusted it lightly with cinnamon. eta: just realised I repeated the suggestions of those below...should read other posts first huh! Edited October 15, 2008 by knitnat see eta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo-Bridge Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I like mine roasted with garlic, peppers, red onion and halloumi (a nigella idea) Heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I bake the sweet potato in it's jacket after having scrubbed the skin with water and a brush, rubbing it down with olive oil. For a large one, usually about an hour. I add butter after splitting and mashing. I've tried microwaving one, but it doesn't taste right as far as I am concerned.

Wonders disciple Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Roasted red peppers are nice. So too is mozarella and olive oil, with maybe some basil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 BTW, it is the season for sweet potatoes. They re great this time of the year. Baked is the way to go. Butter Cinnamon Nutmeg Maple Syrup Take your pick. I love a dab of maple syrup on my sweet potato on top of some butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
