That seems kind of weird to me, kind of like pumpkin spice stuff. Sweet potato (or yams I guess) and pumpkin feel like “savoury” things to me, so it seems kind of weird to have them be a dessert item. I’m sure it tastes good though.
I get where you are coming from. It is a mix of brown sugar and butter mainly. I think if you used those two things you can make anything into a dessert item. We also also like to drink root beer which is mainly spiced with things that most countries put in their cough syrup. If anything there are other countries that use the sweet potato in dessert type items, but they have changed in both color and flavor profile. Do a google search for ube and taro and see how they are used in Asian countries. I dont know if you have boba tea where you are at but places where I go make a killer ube boba. It looks amazing because it has this rich purple color.
Purple is one of the colors I like the most and when I first saw ube boba my mind broke. Taro is also good but its like a more pastel purple. I think the best way that I have had ube so far though is at SomiSomi in some ice cream taiyaki.
They’re great baked with salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil, not the most exciting side, but really easy to just chop one up and put it in the oven. They also go pretty well with cumin and chili, or red onions and feta.
Wait, people make desserts out of sweet potato? It’s always been a side in my house! 😡
We call them candied yams and they usually have marshmallows baked on top of them. Its a thanksgiving thing where I am from because I think if you ate them more than one time a year you would roll over and just die.

Ube is beautiful to be honest

Sweet potato pudding is the only use sweet potatoes get in mine

Gotta get yourself to Melbourne and get one roasted with shit in it from a spud bar. Whole new experience.
Sounds nice to have. I do like loaded regular potatoes.
