    Chances are they've dried out/shrunk and are soft. They should be discarded.

  • Question
    Can I freeze sweet potatoes after cutting them into cubes?
    Community Answer
    You can, but I don't recommend freezing vegetables because it can affect the taste (though they would still be perfectly edible). Instead, I would store the cubes in a container of water kept in the fridge.

    Can I store cut up, peeled, raw sweet potatoes in the fridge?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but put them in a tightly sealed container, preferably with fresh filters. This will keep them healthy and fresh longer.

  • Question
    How long can peeled raw sweet potatoes be kept in the fridge?

    Top Answerer
    Potatoes should not be kept in the fridge long as the fridge will convert their starch into sugar very quickly, disrupting their nutritional profile. If you peel a raw sweet potato and keep it in a sealed container in the fridge, plan on cooking it within 24 hours.

  • Question
    Can sweet potatoes be stored with white potatoes?
    AbigailAbernathy
    Top Answerer
    Yes. They will not make either spoil faster. Just be sure to keep them all away from light and heat so they can be good for months.
