How to Peel Sweet Potatoes

There are two ways to handle this tedious little task. You can use a paring knife to remove the outer skin of the yummy sweet potatoes. Be careful not to cut too deep into the flesh. It’s the fastest method, but you’ll always be at risk of cutting too much.

So, the alternative method is to use a peeler. With the peeler, you only have to scrape the outer skin off without worrying about cutting too deep. It does take a bit longer, so be sure to set aside enough time for it. Or maybe ask your kids to help; I do.

How to Cut Sweet Potatoes

This one might seem too much effort because sweet potatoes are harder than your usual potatoes. Just grapple that sweet potato with a firm grip and take your time. But if you don’t trust yourself, use a cutting board.

Now pick your sharpest knife and cut the ends off. Next, slice the side off to square your potato. Cut 1/2 inch thick slices first and then dice each slice into 1/2 thick cubes.

I prefer doing it like this because it gives me a flatter area to cut. No twisting and rolling struggles.
