This is really pretty good.
Cajun Baked Sweet Potato
" 1 tablespoon paprika
" 1 teaspoon brown sugar
" 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
" 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
" 1/2 teaspoon thyme
" 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
" 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
" 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
" 1 large sweet potato
" 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, thyme,
rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise; rub the
halves with olive oil, and then spread the seasoning mix over the open half of each potato. (I use a
butter knife.)
Bake for 45minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.
[Note: Simply multiply the recipe for more than one potato.]
Here's *the* recipe for sweet potatoes. Had it at the Mesa Grill in Vegas, Bobby Flay's restaurant. Awesome.

As soon as I read 'two cups of heavy cream' it became a no-no. I'd love it, but my wife wouldn't
consider it. Have you ever sliced a sweet potato? There's a lot of work involved with using a knife
to slice three sweet potatos in 1/8" thick slices. I'd probably cut a thumb off. I'll bet Bobby used
an electric slicer!

You fellas sure like to change the taste of food you say you like. I
like the taste of a sweet potato the way it comes from nature, baked,
with a tiny pat of butter and a little salt. You guys do the same thing
with beouf...I don't eat that much of it, but when I do, it is because,
for example, I like the taste of a steak. Crikey...why bother with the
main ingredient...just sit down with a spoon and an assortment of
spices. And speaking of which...when you add a lot of "heat"(fiery
spices) to meat, just what are you tasting? Certainly not the meat. 
You want us to eat bland food too? We're not old enough to be
satisfied with your pablum.
I like a moderate amount of spice on food that should have it. I cooked
"Peruvian Chicken with Green Sauce" for dinner tonight with side dishes
of plantains, dirty rice and two kinds of beans. Plenty of spices.
