Sweet potatoes belong to the family of root vegetables. Their origin is from South America. However, they are eaten all over the world. How and how long are sweet potatoes boiled for?
1. The first way to cook a sweet potato is to peel and dice it. It is then placed in a suitable container, covered with enough water, so that it is completely submerged and boiled for 10-15 minutes. The time for boiling sweet potatoes depends a lot on the size of the pieces, so you should check them and if necessary, boil them longer;
2. The second way is to boil the sweet potato whole. If you are going to boil it whole, you don't need to peel it, just wash it very well. When the potatoes are whole, their cooking time increases to between 30 and 35 minutes, or until they soften. You can also check it with a knife or skewer. If you're going to make a salad, you can leave it harder, if you're going to make it mashed sweet potatoes, it's best to boil them, until they completely soften.
When the sweet potatoes are fully cooked, they peel very easily. With them you can make a delicious cream soup or a vegan pizza with mashed potatoes.
