can i get an amen?

[Beso]

They are mingling, far to sweet.

[Cherie]

Amen

[bots]

ive tried them a couple of times because they are supposed to be a healthy alternative, but they are just unpleasant and what are they an alternative to, its certainly not a normal potato

[Swan]

I love them, mashed with olive oil spread and ginger :thumbs:

[AnnieK]

I love sweet potato fries (am neither veggoe nor began).....I only get them in the summer of though. Not keen on sweet potato as a jacket but I do sometimes mix sweet potatoes and normal ones to top a cottage pie

[Niamh.]

I hate sweet potato, I'm Irish I have authority to speak here, an abomination

[Beso]

They are all amish.

[caprimint]

I prefer them to original potatoes :pipe:

(They're all good tho)

[Shaun]

They're alright but they do feel like a bit of a weird novelty rather than something I'd have regularly.

[Ammi]

…They’re perfect with certain things, I think…I always find rice with a hot/spicy chilli really bland so prefer sweet potato fries with it…the sweetness balances and compliments the hot spiciness excellently…and sprinkled with chilli flakes for a little added kick as well…gorgeous…:lovedup:…

…like Annie does, I also often do a half and half with regular potato for a mash and that works really well and is delicious…:love:…they yam what they yam and they’re not regular potatoes, they have their own sweet character…. so respect and appreciate their individuality and a relationship with them won’t have to be a pretence…there’ll be real feeling and love and a long future together….:flutter:…

[LaLaLand]

Sweet potato fries are beautiful!

[hijaxers]

Amen

I don't hate but not keen on them at all.

[GoldHeart]

I'm not vegan nor vegetarian ,but I like sweet potato fries and I eat them more than regular fries / chips.

[thesheriff443]

The sweet potato haters should be left tongue less
I really like them.

And niamh only hates potatoes because She was given one with every meal

It’s an Irish thing.:joker:

[Jake.]

They’re nice on the odd occasion. I couldn’t have them on a weekly basis but yeah

…poor sweet potatoes becoming the Meghan of the potato family…:sad:…

…actually I just remembered that I dice and roast them as part of my vegetable lasagne filling as well…I probably use them in other stuff, I just can’t recall…they’re nice added to vegetable curries….

Now that’s sounds good to me.

[Amy Jade]

They're nice as chips but I have to have loads of salt

[Crimson Dynamo]

that's what she said

[Gstar]

Sweet potato is amazing, and I’m not vegan

[Beso]

They ain't nice as chips then!

[bots]

the only way i could get them in any way edible was to spray them with olive oil, cut them into wedges and bake them in the oven, but i would still rather have a tatty

Wedges are to big...you could cook it for an hour and you would still get the disgusting mushy bit


Chips or nothing imo...with salt......


And tons of gravy

[Dogeatdog]

Sweet potato is a once in a blue moon thing for me. I like it but I wouldn’t have it all the time.

[Captain.Remy]

Far from being vegan and it is great!

[Vicky.]

Oh god. Awful things those. Taste to me like parsnip and loads of sugar crossed with cardboard. Though apparently, others indeed tend to dislike them but do not recognise that taste..

Not from me you can’t, I don’t know where she got the idea, but my wife came up with chickpea curry with sweet potatoes, it’s great.
I baked a huge sweet potato once, it was very soft, I cut it open, lightly sprinkled some Tabasco powder in it, added feta cheese, then just a tad more Tabasco on top, it didn’t make my eyes water, but it made my nose run a little, tasted sublime though.
