My favorite way to cook and eat a sweet potato is to simply grease it and
bake it, long and slow, until the juices begin to exude and caramelize.
Then split open and add butter.

But I also make a candied yam recipe that's to die for, and a savory
preparation of scalloped sweet potatoes where I simply substitute raw sweet
potato slices for white potatoes.

Getting back to the OP, I do enjoy a good plate of spaghetti, either with a
hearty meat sauce, or with a light meat sauce and meatballs, but I
certainly wouldn't want it on a daily basis. The same for mashed potatoes.
I don't like mashed potatoes literally swimming in gravy.
