Best Ways To Store And Use Sweet Potatoes

Yes.

To freeze, wash, peel and boil sweet potatoes until tender, then slice or mash and sprinkle with lemon juice to stop them from going brown. Cool, put into a container or freezer bag and freeze.

To store leftover cooked sweet potatoes, cool them as quickly as possible, ideally within one or two hours, and then store in the fridge for up to two days. If a section of the sweet potato goes bad, the entire potato should be composted.

Use a potato peeler rather than a knife as this will cut down on waste. There’s also no need to peel – you can boil, roast or mash sweet potatoes with the skins on!
