I would chop them into largish cubes, add some olive oil and herbs, some onions and anything else that needs using up from bottom of fridge, (slightly soft tomatoes etc) and use them like that to go with your bangers. However knowing your liking for cakes, you may like the taste of sweet mash :) in which case just peel, boil and mash like ordinary spuds.

Boo... I tend to make a mash which is two-thirds potato, one-third sweet potato.
Just peel and slice into 1 cm rounds and boil in lightly salted water. When really soft, drain and return to the heat to dry out. Then mash thoroughly BEFORE adding any butter/milk/cheese. If you are using as a topping - ie, cottage pie - add 2 egg yolks to help bind. I find it is far tastier than just regular potato, and sweet potato is very nutritious too. x
