    Can I peel sweet potatoes on the day prior to cooking them, and if so, how do I protect them?

  • Question
    How do I get rid of chunks of sweet potatoes when they won't mash?
    Community Answer
    Bake them longer next time. Or pop them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and then mash them. If there are only a few chunks, pick them out. No one will be the wiser.

  • Question
    Are microwaved sweet potatoes nourishing?

    Yes! Microwaving sweet potatoes is a very quick and easy way to get soft-fleshed, crispy-skinned sweet potatoes. Microwaving does not compromise a sweet potato's nutritional profile, either. Just don't peel them!

  • Question
    I grow my own sweet potatoes, but when I made my pies, they're too thick. What should I do to thin them out?
    Community Answer
    You could just add a little milk. If they are brick-like, make a mixture of one egg and 3/4 cup of milk and use that to thin out the mixture to the consistency you want, then bake.
