sweetpotatoes with marshmellows (I can't resist LOL)

I know it's a thing but I must say I sure don't get that!

I love them (sweet potatoes that is, not marshmallows!) french
fried, baked, or mashed with cayenne, garlic and thyme or with a
spicy tomato or curried cream sauce.

Title: Campfire Melted Mini-Potato Medley
Categories: Camping, Bacon, Potatoes, Cheese
Servings: 8

2 sm bags of mini red potatoes
2 packs of smoked applewood
bacon
12 garlic cloves
2 red onion
1 TB black peppercorn
350 g Reblochon or Champfleury
cheese

On a small cutting board, slice each potato into four pieces. Wrap
them in three layers of aluminium foil and place in a corner of the
fire pit for about 45 minutes. Peel the garlic cloves, keeping them
whole, slice the red onions and the bacon, and cut the cheese into
one-inch cubes. In a cast iron pan on the hot embers, fry the bacon
until almost cooked, remove some fat and add the whole garlic, the
red onions and the peppercorn, letting everything fry for about five
more minutes. Add the potatoes and the cheese cubes, letting the
mixture melt together for about 3-4 minutes; remove from the embers
and let it cool down. Eat it with your friends straight from the
pan!

Quoting Michael Loo to Ruth Haffly <=-

My mother, in one of her attempts to make us
Americans, fixed sweet sweet potatoes, which
tied my taste buds in knots. It was quite a
while before I could look a sweet potato or
yam in the face.

I think all of us siblings are in agreement--can't look a
sweet potato or yam in the face either.

I discovered that without additional sweetening
they can be okay - especially cut at least 25%
with butter.

Sweet potatoes take well to both chilies and curry, but not sugar and
certainly not marshmallows. I am very fond of spicy sweet potato
fries (grease, salt plus liberal use of cayenne .... what could be
wrong!), mashed with butter (I use less than you do, about 1 tb per
cup) plus a modest amount of whole milk or light cream, garlic and
any number of chile powders including chipotle, cubed and smothered
in a spicy tomato sauce, in a tomato or yogurt based curry sauce or
extending those last two concepts, a tomato or dairy based soup.

I'd say I use thyme more than twice as often as anything else.

I use thyme and basil about equally, the choice depending on both
the dish and my mood. Oregano, less and less as time goes by.

Onions don't count, because I use them in almost all savory
dishes of whatever claimed nationality.

Same. Along with all the other alliums (except uber-expensive
shallots). A recent meal featured onions four ways: in the bean soup,
in a cucumber relish, in the stir fried vegetables and in the
pot roasted meat's gravy.

Title: Onions in Madeira
Categories: Onions, Beef, Wine
Yield: 4 Servings

4 lg Red onions; sliced
1/4 c Beef stock; fresh or canned
1/4 c Madeira
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt

Place the onions in a non-stick frying pan. Add the beef stock and
wine. Simmer gently, uncovered, until the liquid is almost gone.
Taste for salt and pepper. You should need a little. Serve as a side
vegetable dish with any red meat course.

Comments: This is really an amazing dish in that it is so mild and so
flavorful at the same time. It goes well with any red meat course.
