Oven at 500 F , foods cook at 200 F if wet with water
Sweet potatoes are cured at maybe 105 F , at very high humidity .
for weeks ...If not cured , and you try to cook S' P' or Yams ,
you get nothing .
Many foods lose water , then cooking temperature goes up
and starch converts ,,flavor comes out !
From Cindyc40: I always pierce the skin of each sweet potato with a sharp knife and then wrap in aluminum foil. Place on baking sheet (as they can leak) and cook at 400F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Sweet potatoes take at least 2 times to bake done than a regular russet potato.
From raDzer0: If you want them to cook a good bit quicker but keep the fresh from the oven (vs microwave) taste. Put them in the microwave for around 1minute per lb. It will per warm them internally and could cut 20-30minutes off the baking time without any change in taste.
because that's how its suppose to be
When making housemade potatoes (regular or sweet potato), blanch (par-cook) in a deep fryer or par-boil in water. Then deep fry or roast to finish. If you cook potatoes from raw, they take forever. This is much faster and they have a longer shelf life.

How does the energy content of the potato change if cooked in oil?
If the potato is cooked in cooking oil, the energy content of the potato would increase. This is because the oil would provide additional calories and fat to the potato, which would make it more energy-dense. Additionally, the cooking oil would make the potato more moist, tender, and flavorful.

Ready to cook chips are often precooked in beef tallow. This allows the potato to stay attractive in the freezer and gives the golden coloring after being cooked.
How do you remove salt if you have put to much in recipe.?
Try adding large or small chunks of raw, unsalted potato to the ingredients being cooked and continue to cook as long as possible. The amount of potato needed seems to vary depending on the salinity of the dish. I have used more potato for more salt. I don't know if increasing the surface area of potato exposed to salt, that is, cutting the potato in many chunks vs just a few works better, or if the important part is the time the potato remains in contact with the salt, but the technique has helped in soups and sauces. I have kept the potato in the preparation container until serving time.

Why are your maris piper potatoes mushy when boiled?
They are being boiled for too long. A potato is cooked when a thin metal skewer, or a sharp knife, passes into the middle of it easily. Alternatively, it may be the type of potato - try steaming them instead. Raise them out of the water when boiling, so that don't sit in it and won't absorb water.
