I love fresh sweet potatoes, baked in a hot oven for an hour or more.  I don't even add sugar to them.  To me, they are absolutely delicious. I try to stay away from canned vegetables as much as possible.

I prefer the fresh ones.  Canned just seems to sweet and mushy to me.

I like sweet potatoes raw and baked.  I prefer fresh over canned, but I do like the sweet potatoes made at Thanksgiving with brown sugar and perhaps pecans in them......extra sweet, like a dessert.

I like sweet potato fries, I bake them & put them in my spinach salads.   I also like them whole & baked with a bit of butter in them, so delicious :)

When I was a kid, we only ate sweet potatoes out of the can, usually for Thanksgiving. Of course, my mom would doctor them up as you described. I had my first fresh sweet potato when I was an adult, and of course I had to put butter and a little brown sugar on it because I was so used to having it extremely sweet.  :peace: :heart:

I prefer fresh sweet potatoes. When they're fresh I can bake them or mash them. The ones in the can always seemed too sweet for me.

I prefer fresh ones, I baked them with a bit of cinnamon, honey and butter and add cranberry juice and almonds, they turn out really good.

They are great canned or fresh, though I don't think sugar and butter still qualify as healthy.

Im sure they would be alot healthier without the sugar, honey, and butter :)

But I do the same, but I put butter, brown sugar and pecans in mine. And usually just eat the canned ones

We have then often to make Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer. They are much healthier than other potatoes.

I'm a big fan of sweet potatoes. Wish that I had them more often.
