Sweet potatoes...am I late to the game?

We love this recipe: peel and slice sweet potatoes. Place in one layer on baking sheet. Very lightly salt. Drizzle with Extra Light Virgin Olive Oil. Sprinkle with crushed Rosemary. Bake 20-30 minutes until done. TASTY! You can add carrots to the mixture too.

I'm not a big sweet potato cook, but I do like sweet potato tots:
Partially cook several whole sweet potatoes in boiling water for about 15 minutes. Remove them to cool for awhile. Cook up bacon (1 strip of bacon for each potato) until crisp. Chop up the bacon. Remove the potato's skins and then shred them (box grater, food processor). Put the shredded potatoes on paper towels and squeeze them to get as much liquid out as possible - this is really important or they will fall apart when cooked. Now mix the potatoes, chopped bacon, a couple pinches of kosher salt and some flour (1 tablespoon per every potato). Using a spoon, your hands or even a small ice cream scoop, form the tots. Fry them in oil at 300-325 degrees F (I use a cast iron skillet) for a couple minutes (outside is crispy).

While reading your post I am eating our camp breakfast. Pan fried onions, mushrooms, squash, bell peppers, red beans with chopped up sweet taters served with sausage. We use sweet pototoes most all the time. We usaly peel them and put them in the microwave until most of the way done. Then store them in the fridge. We can slice them and pan fry them in butter. You can add them to most any thing just by cutting them up and serve as a crunchy part of the meal. Also as they are most of the way cooked you can made wedges from them and put in oven and serve as tater wedges. We use only butter, salt, pepper ect on them never any thing sweet.
