Cooking Tip

Sweet Potatoes And Yams

Sweet potatoes and yams should have firm, smooth skin, and be free of bruises. Avoid potatoes that are soft to the touch, and do not appear freshly harvested.

Place sweet potatoes in steamer basket. Cook 15 minutes. A knife should easily slip into the flesh when cooked to the right degree of doneness.
