Anyone have recipes for non-dessert sweet potato breads? Or other sweet potato recipes for that matter. (hexbear.net)

I was just given a big pile of sweet potatoes and while I've got recipes like "chop them up into sticks, soak in salt water, and then fry them until I think they're done" and "cube them and boil in curry or other heavily spiced stews for ~15 minutes" that all work very well, that's sort of the limit of what I know for them and I want to actually get use out of them before they can spoil.

So I started wondering about making bread, but every recipe I can find seems to just be "this is literally a cake that's being called bread and it's almost 50% table sugar by volume," but that can't be the extent of options can it? There have to be some savory recipes that just rely on the sugar of the sweet potatoes themselves, right?

Slice into wedges or dice into cubes, toss in oil (preferably something with a higher smoke point than olive oil), salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and roast them in the oven ay 425 for like idk 17 minutes and then check on them to see if they're browning well and tender. Take out when they look and feel good, they're almost certainly not done at 17 minutes but it's a good idea to check on shit sooner imo idk how your oven is

I probably should have said "fry or bake until done" because that's another thing I make, though I prefer a spice blend that's vaguely like a curry mix but much heavier on the cayenne and cinnamon which pairs perfectly with sweet potatoes imo.
