Boiled Sweet Potatoes

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Select sweet potatoes of uniform size.

  2. Wash the sweet potatoes.

  3. Boil in salted water until a fork pierces readily to the center of the largest potato.

  4. Drain the potatoes and set them in a 400°F (200°C) oven for five minutes to dry.

  5. Peel the potatoes and serve hot.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
