I don't know about the South, but here on Thanksgiving, they go into the BBQ
with the turkey when there is about an hour to go.

Or, slice the raw sweet potatoes into large steak-house type fries, brush
with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, and roast at 450-500° in the oven,
about 30 minutes, turning them halfway through.
