When making a sweet potato salad, season them while they're still warm, so they absorb the seasoning better.
You can shorten the baking time for sweet potatoes (approximately 50 minutes in a gas oven and 8 or 9 minutes in a microwave) by cooking them first in boiling water for 10 minutes. When cooking them alongside a roast, place them about 45 minutes before the meat is done, so they don't overcook and become mushy.
Whenever possible, cook sweet potatoes with their skins. You won't lose volume or nutrients. To peel them, do it while they're still warm. If they've cooled down, submerge them in water to make the process easier.
