Sweet potatoes are versatile and can be prepared using methods similar to regular potatoes:

1. Wash: Scrub the skin thoroughly under running water, as the skin is often eaten for its nutrients.

2. Prep: Decide on your cooking method. You can pierce the skin (for baking) or cut into cubes, slices, or sticks (for roasting/frying).

3. Cook:

   • Bake/Roast: Toss chunks or sticks with olive oil, salt, and spices, and bake at $400^\circ\text{F}$ ($200^\circ\text{C}$) for 25–40 minutes until tender.

   • Boil/Mash: Peel the potato, chop into cubes, boil until very soft (about 15-20 minutes), then drain and mash with butter and salt.

   • Air Fry/Fry: Cut into thin fries and cook in an air fryer or deep fryer until crispy.

4. Serve: Enjoy as a savory side dish, or use them in sweet recipes like pies or casseroles.
