Funny you should ask this...I just got a new cookbook today and it has this one:
2-3 large sweet potatoes
1 stick margarine or butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes. Place in large pan, cover with water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until fork tender (about 30-45 minutes). Drain well and place in large mixing bowl.
Add the butter and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time while mixer is going. Add sugar, vanilla and cinnamon, mix well then place in casserole dish. Bake 350 for 20 minutes then add:
Topping:
1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup chopped pecans
Mix together the brown sugar and flour, then cut in butter. Add the pecans, mix well. Put on top of the sweet potatoes and continue 20 minutes more.

My favorite way to eat sweet potatoes is to just microwave them with the peels on, (poke holes like regular potatoes) them let them cool and peel and eat. I suppose if you just mashed them and added some 'pumpkin pie spice', you would have a good tasting dish. You could add some butter and milk for richness. Baked sweet potatoes are my guilty pleasure. I eat them plain.

We like the sweet potatoe as close to its natural state as possible. We like them just baked like a white potatoe with a little pat of butter, salt & pepper. Or:
1. peel (easier than when they are hot)
2. cut into pieces (1 or 2 inch size)
3. steam till tender (I use a steam basket in the bottom a pan they sell in produce.)
4. mash with a little butter, crushed pineapple and/or dried cranberries. Add cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin spice as you would like for taste.
very simple and not a lot of added calories. We eat these at least twice a week.

My brother refused to eat sweet potatoes his entire life, but he liked this one. It's been a family favorite for years. It's a low-fat version I got from Cooking Light many years ago. Thanksgiving wouldn't be right without them. I like it because you can make it up ahead and add the topping when you warm them up at the end.
I hope this works and that it's legible.

I microwave them also, I find that boiling them makes them too watery...I just eat them like a baked potatoe with some butter or sour cream.
I also roast them in the oven, peel and cube toss them in some olive oil, S&P a little garlic powder, spread them on a sheet pan and bake on high temp 450 until done.
