Sweet Potatoes

IN SEASON
Late Fall after curing, in storage through winter

STORAGE TIPS
Store in a cool dark place for about a month.  The refrigerator is too cold, so the countertop is likely a better option.  Don't wash until just before you use them.

To freeze, wash thoroughly and leave skins on.  Halve and roast in 425 F oven until just tender, 20-30 minutes.  Either mash or slice; pack and freeze.
​
CULINARY TIPS
  • Scrub well before cooking.
  • The skin is edible so you don't have to peel them.
  • Bake sweet potatoes whole at 350° until soft when pricked with a fork. Split open and add a pat of butter.
  • Slice sweet potatoes into chunks and toss with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roast at 350° for about 45 minutes. Add chunks of potatoes and carrots for a winter root bake.
  • Chop sweet potatoes into very small cubes. Heat butter in a sauté pan and add sweet potatoes. Add cinnamon and ginger and sauté until soft and tender. Serve with rice.
  • Sweet potatoes go well with butter, cinnamon, orange, ginger, brown sugar, maple syrup, pecans, and walnuts.
