| Directions |
There are three ways to cook sweet potatoes in preparation of mashing 1. Baking: Bake at 400º for 50-60 minutes, depending on size. 2. Boiling: Boil potatoes whole, 20-40 minutes. 3. Steaming: Steam, covered, over boiling water, 30-50 minutes. With all of these methods, the potatoes are ready when they are very soft when pierced with a fork. Once cooked, you can peel the sweet potatoes, if desired. Mash, add seasonings, and serve.

Personally, I like my sweet potatoes plain with just a touch of butter.
