Cooking Tips
Sweet Potatoes can be baked, boiled, fried, broiled, canned or frozen. Before cooking sweet potatoes, scrub the skin and trim off any bruised or woody portions.
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Rub a little oil over clean, dry sweet potatoes of uniform size. Place on baking sheet and bake at 400 deg. F for 30 to 50 minutes, depending on size. Sweet potatoes that are greased before baking peel easily.
Boiled Sweet Potatoes
Drop clean sweet potatoes into enough boiling water to cover them. Cover pan and return water to boiling as quickly as possible. Lower heat and cook until tender. Drain at once. Peel and season to taste. Boiled sweet potatoes can be used for pies, cookies, deserts, breads, casseroles, glazed, candied or frozen.
Microwave Sweet Potatoes
For best results, chose sweet potatoes that do not vary in width from center to ends. Pierce washed sweet potatoes with a fork. Cook on high, turning each sweet potato 1/2 turn halfway through cook time. Remove cooked sweet potatoes from oven, wrap in aluminum foil and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Cooking times:
1 medium 3-4 minutes
2 medium 5-6 minutes
4 medium 7-8 minutes
6 medium 8-9 minutes
