You can cook them like baked potatoes, you can mash them like mash or you can peel them, cut them into cubes and roast them like that!
thats how i do it anyway ;)

Baked Sweet Potatoes:
6 medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Heat oven to 400° F.
Pierce each sweet potato several times with the tines of a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
Make a slit in the top of each sweet potato. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter and season with the salt and pepper.
Variation: Baking sweet potatoes intensifies their sweetness, making them surprisingly satisfying with little, if any, embellishment. If you crave something over the top, try some maple syrup or brown sugar, a spoonful of sour cream, a pinch of ground cinnamon, some caramelized onions, a handful of pecans or walnuts, jarred applesauce or chutney, canned chipotles in adobo, crystallized ginger, or grated orange zest.
Yield: Makes 6 servings

I saw a recipe on TV the other day for twice baked sweet potatoes. You bake the SPs in the oven till done, then take out the insides, leaving the skins intact because you'll need them. Mash the innards. Mix in butter (or margarine), sour cream, brown sugar, maple syrup, and add some salt. Then put the mixture back in the skins, should be a little heaping over the top. Then place back in the oven. For a complete recipe:

My roommate turned me onto a great sweet potato dish. It's Chipotle mashed sweet potatos. Just clean them up, poke some holes in them and bake them until they're cooked through. Once that's done they'll slip right out of the peel and you add one chili (chopped up) from a can of chipotle in adobo sauce (or as many as you like if you like it hot!) and mash them together. The heat of the chili cuts some of the sweet and they work together really well. Everyone I've made it for has loved it.

Just the same as normal potatoes although I feel that they take alittle longer to cook. My favourite dish is Sweet potato and leek soup. Really easy to make and a very different taste to making it using normal potatoes.

I normally bake them at about 350F for 20-30 mins. Find it's the best way to do it. Otherwise, wrap them in tinfoil and do them on the barbeque like you would a roast potatoe. They're excellent that way, too.
You can also make sweet potato fries and sweet potatoe mash.

I usually just nuke them the same way as ordinary potatoes and then serve with butter - just like ordinary potatoes!
They are really tasty and apparently you can even make 'chips' with them - but I would think they would mess up the cooking oil!
Just treat them as ordinary potatoes and decide how you and your family like them best! And most of all, enjoy - they have more of the Vitamin A than ordinary potatoes!

Tasty but takes a while: Baked. I'd suggest baking a bunch of them at once, because it takes a while, but once they're baked you can put them in the fridge and microwave them, and they taste fresh-baked when they're heated. Bake them on 350 until they're soft--stab them with forks to make sure. Also because it's fun to stab things with forks... Then when they're done, just serve with butter and a little bit of brown sugar.
Almost as tasty, much faster: boiled. With the skins on. Again, serve with butter and brown sugar.
Really neat snack: don't cook them! Just cut slices of a raw sweet potato, and they make delicous and crunchy snacks!
