Sweet Potatoes Boiled

Ingredients

Directions

  1. If any sweet potatoes are very large and thick, split them and cut into quarters.

  2. Boil the potatoes with the skins on in just enough water to prevent burning.

  3. Set the pot on coals and simmer slowly for at least one hour.

  4. Check doneness with a fork.

  5. Drain the water and let the potatoes dry in a tin pan before the fire or in the stove.

  6. Peel the potatoes before serving.
