Freezing sweet potato
Does anyone know if this can be done in a home situation?
If so, is it straight forward? TIA Mary |

Put the cubes on a cookie sheet, freeze and then bag. That should allow the cubes to keep their shape. Ellen |

This is merely conjecture, but I would guess that the cubes should be at least partially cooked. Ideally, the cubes should then be frozen individually and later transferred to bags for storage, preferally vacuumed sealed. -- Wayne Boatwright ożo ____________________ BIOYA |

Ah well, I guess no-one knows. Except the commercial folk of course, perhaps I ought to do some industrial espionage. Pre-cooking might be the answer. Blanching, perhaps ... that always seems to take timeand effort and energy though. I stopped doing it for everything else and haven't suffered. > Mary |

Freezing sweet potato
Frankly, I can't imagine wanting to figure out how to preserve sweet
potatoes. Don't they already preserve themselves in a cool dry environment like a root cellar? B/ |

I asked because I had a recipe which used them so frozen cubed sweet potatoes are available. I don't buy frozen foods so thought someone here might have done it. As it was I cubed a raw one and cooked it in the oven, not nuked it in a microwave as the recipe said (we don't have a microwave). > > Only time I froze them was back when I was making my own baby foods - > cooked, pureed and frozen in ice cube trays Sweet potatoes were very rare and exotic when mine were babies and I made their food. Even then they just had what we had, whizzed in the liquidiser, I never stored it. No freezer then either:-) How times have changed! Mary |

Well, not necessarily a root cellar--San Francisco is somewhat humid and I can keep them in my kitchen for at least a month. But point taken. B/ |
