Heeeey, we also turn it into fries/chips, eat it just like a baked potato, that sort of thing. The sweetness is a regional difference--much more common in the south, particularly sweet potato pie which has tons of butter as well. In the mid-Atlantic region, anyway, the candied and marshmallow-festooned version only appears as a side dish during Thanksgiving.
But wait, there's more!
