Answers:
I eat sweet potatoes almost every day, and have found that when I need to peel/cut them, I use one of the best, biggest and sharpest knives - or preferably - one of those hand-held knife choppers!.!.!. it looks like the letter D on it's side - you hold the handle part and cut straight down with it (you see the chefs on TV use them)!. Lately though, I have found the best way to do sweet potatoes is just bake them in the oven - cut off the two ends a little, poke a dozen holes in with a fork, then bake 'em at 425 for about an hour or so until you see little sweet juice bubbling out of them!. Then, cool them off!. Once they cool, it is so easy to peel the skin off and mash them up - yum !!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try putting them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or maybe more!. Just until they are soft!. But then make sure you let them cool before you cut them!Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah get a sharp knife and hold the potatoe down really hard make sure it doesnt slip then slowly make the knife go thru itWww@FoodAQ@Com

peel, then use a very sharp knife, lay them on a cutting board, and cut into big chunks to cook!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I bowl them for a little while, let them cool them cut themWww@FoodAQ@Com

I usually cut off the ends so its easier to stand up!. Then I cut it in half so I can slice them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I balance them on peoples heads and then hack them with my sword!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ya gotta do it when they ain't lookin!Www@FoodAQ@Com
