Right! Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet enough you don't have to put all that on there, it masks the taste. I like it the way it's used in a lot of African or Asian cooking, more savory.

There's a great Vietnamese restaurant I go to once in a while that has a curried chicken soup that's amazing-sweet potatoes, onions, chunks of chicken, various seasonings, and coconut milk, served with a loaf of fresh-baked French bread.
