Boiling sweet potatoes - is this a thing people do? Is it any good? (hexbear.net)

Love my sweet potatoes but I'm looking for other things to do with them other than just baking them. I understand boiling them won't turn the starches to sugars though so I'm wondering if this is any good. I was thinking of doing some sort of mashed sweet potato thing, so also trying to figure out what to add to them.

Also I see people in the Caribbean boiling sweet potatoes, but it's usually the harder white kind. I'd be boiling the softer orange kind. I'm wondering if it's still possible to boil that type.

Yes, then you drain and serve with some fat. My fav is to cut them into stick shapes, soak for an hour then drain, use yaji spice powder to season and then airfry them.
