This is sorta like my recipe but you can bake the sweet potatoes and then mash them. I make a praline topping like Sarah's.

I make them for my mother often as she can only have soft foods. I peel, boil and mash. To the mash I add applesauce and cinnamon. If to thick will add milk. So yummy.

Sweet Potato Fluff.........it's like having desert while eating your dinner! Cook.com has a good rendention of it.

I bake my potatoes, let them cool then scoop them out. Or you can do it the cheater way and buy a can of sweet potatoes. I actually use canned sweet potatoes to make sweet potatoe pie and sweet potate bread.
I like plain baked sweet potatoes however this is the Sweet potato recipe that I would bring to family gatherings years agao. Evryone loved them

I whip my sweet potatoes with butter, brown sugar, cinncmon and 1 small can of chopped pineapple. Pile into a baking dish. Bake about 1/2 hour then remove from oven top with marshmellows and return to oven until golden brown.

Add applesauce? Never thought of that. Sounds yummy with the cinnamon.

Us too, I just add margarine and salt and pepper. We have them a lot, well often. I was at a restaurant recently and they had sweet potato fries! OMG!!! Delicious! crusty on the outside and sweet inside! I bet you could do it at home and cut them into a bowl, put olive oil on them and oven fry them, maybe turning them once in awhile. Maybe pat them dry before adding the oil. I am going to try it!!! :lol:
