Mashed sweet potato recipes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Optionally, peel the sweet potato. Personally, I like the peel myself. Cut the sweet potato up into 1.5" square chunks. Immerse into boiling, well-salted water. Test with a fork -- when the fork easily passes through the chunk, drain in a colander. Transfer to a bowl, and mash with the back of a kitchen spoon. I like adding: * Butter Optionally, you can also add: * Brown sugar to taste * Orange zest * Nutmeg or mace * Salt * Cayenne (carefully) * Lime juice

What is yams used for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

they can be:

boiled plain: White or yellow yams are peeled, sliced up, usually into pieces about 3 centimeters, and boiled in water with salt

fried: White or yellow yams are cut up into long thin squares and fried in vegetable oil or palm oil

asaro: White or yellow yams are peeled, sliced, and diced into small cubes, then cooked with ground tomatoes, peppers, sometimes meat, other spices, and comes out reddish in color.

ikokore: It is similar to asaro but made with a different type of yam called 'water yam' that is softer in texture, and when cooked, usually comes out more brownish in color.

iyan (pounded yam): The yams are peeled, and ground up on a mortar. Then this 'powder' is placed into boiling water until it has a thick smooth structure. Nowadays, you can bypass the grounding stage by buying the 'pounded yam flour', and putting this in boiling water to make something which is close enough for some people, but not for others.

amala: dish made from yams, but first, the yams are ground and dried to form a powder. This powder is then put into boiling water, and stirred/beaten until it has a thick smooth structure. The cooked product ends up being very dark brown in color.

Asked by Wiki User

To "bake" a sweet potato in a microwave is simple to do but the timing depends on the size of the potato and the power of the microwave. For average measures on both these, try about 8 minutes on high. Let it sit for about 10 minutes afterwards, as it will continue to cook.

How do you know when to dig up sweet potatoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most commonly, sweet potatoes are harvested when the plant dies off, often as winter approaches and frosts begin. They can be harvested before this by cutting tubers from the plant. If the cut tuber exudes a milky juice that turns blackish upon drying then the tubers are not ready. If it dries clear, they are mature.
