How to prepare a sweet potato

✅ The essentials

The sweet potato is prepared like a potato, but it cooks faster and it is naturally sweet. In the oven as fries or wedges, as mash, or in dice in a soup.

🛒 Choosing it

Firm, with no soft spots or cuts. The small and medium ones cook more evenly.

🧼 Preparing it

Scrub it under water. Its skin is thin: you can leave it on in the oven, or peel it with a peeler for a mash or a soup.

🔪 Cutting it for the dish

  • As fries or wedges, for the oven, with a little oil and salt.
  • In dice, for a soup or a curry.
  • Halved, to bake it whole in the oven and mash it with a fork.

⏱️ How long it takes

One minute.

🧊 Storing it

Out of the fridge, cool and dark, one to two weeks. Cooked, in the fridge three days.
