Freezing Sweet Potatoes
- Choose medium to large sweet potatoes that have been cured for at least one week. Sort according to size and wash.
- Cook until almost tender in water, steam, a large pressure cooker or the oven. Let stand at room temperature until cool.
- Peel sweet potatoes and mash. To keep from darkening, mix 2 tablespoons orange or lemon juice with each quart of mashed sweet potatoes.
- Pack into containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal and freeze.
