I'm not potato crazy, but when I'm tired of chewing and the thought of working my way through another meal gets to me--I eat l/2 small order of chili cheese fries. I even fried sweet potatoes once. Mind you, it's only when I know I've "had it" chewing and eating slowly.

I was never told not to eat white potatoes either. I bake all kinds.

There is little in this world better than cubed, roasted sweet potato, onion, parsnip and pumpkin, on a bed of steamed spinach, with crushed garlic and pepper in a drop of extra virgin olive oil drizzled over the top (drools)

Yeah, always fresh cut pumpkin (we don't even get canned pumpkin here, I think)

Everything gets roasted, apart from the spinach. I throw it all on a pan with baking paper, season with garlic salt, peper, and anything else that takes my fancy. I steam the spinach (or defrost , lol) and in a shot glass, half fill with extra virgin olive oil (I use the best oil I can get) crush some fresh garlic and throw it in with the oil, and whisk. Sometimes I will use some chilli, and / or ginger in with the oil.

Sweet potatoes are wonderful! I love to make them into mashed potatoes with a little splenda in them! Yummy!

I also love baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon.

AND sweet potatoes Soup.

Oh, I need sweet potatoes now....
