The sweet potatoes were old, huh.... hmmm..... They seem fine. They
were "Dole" sweet potatoes purchased at BJ's Wholesale club.

I was skeptical. They seemed nice and fresh when I cut them up to
cook. After they were cooked, some did have darker spots of orange,
perhaps "old" or "bad" spots. Cut those out. Other than that, they are
dlish. Added milk and brown sugar as usual, seem fine to me.
