BEFORE BOILING:

Immediately before cooking yams rinse under cold water and possibly peel.

HOW TO BOIL:

Method 1: All sweet potato is put into a small amount of cold water, so that the boil uniformly and will not be raw or in the middle of the vitreous.
Method 2: Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and toss into boiling water.
Immediately after setting with salt (approx. 2 teaspoons to 1 liter of water). It is also slightly sweetened (approx. 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water). Sweet potatoes cook for approx. 30 minutes. Time start to count from the time of re-boil water. Boil under cover - this shortens the processing time and reduces the loss of vitamins. To verify that yams are already cooked, you can stick a fork or a knife. If it falls softly, they are ready.

ONCE BOILED:

After cooking, drain off yams. After boiling water containing nutrients can be used for sauces, soups, etc.

SERVING TIPS:

Serve topped with melted butter and sprinkled with breadcrumbs.

Bon appétit!
