Boiled Sweet Potatoes - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 23

Preparing sweet potatoes by boiling is quicker than baking them. However, they lose some of their flavor and texture. The amount of sugar necessary can be adjusted based on the amount of sweet potatoes used. Sugar substitutes are not recommended, as they do not mix well with sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are typically eaten at holiday meals. However, they're delicious any time of year and can be cooked from home grown sweet potatoes. Fingerling potatoes chop easier than full sized ones. Fresh potatoes take longer to boil than canned ones, so adjust cook time accordingly. Fresh from the garden snacks.
