You’ve heard of fall of the bone tender. Well, this is fall out of the skin sweet potatoes. It occurred to me while I performed this shortcut I’ve never shared it. Thus another pot was going the next day to show you how this is truly the world’s easiest way to peel  a sweet potato.

Step 1: Wash and cut the potatoes in half or thirds if they are long fat ones.

Step 2: Bring them to a boil on high heat and reduce to a medium high heat. A wooden spoon placed over the edge will keep the water from boiling over

Step 3: Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow to cool to the touch (about fifteen to thirty minutes depending how many you are preparing).

Step 4: Slide the potato out of the skin right into a serving bowl. Or you can mash the sweet potatoes with a mixer and allow to cool completely. Bag in labeled quart size bags for future use. Have you tried substituting mashed sweet potato for pumpkin in muffins?

Serving Suggestions:

• Eat hot mashed potatoes with butter, cinnamon and brown sugar
• Sprinkle smashed potatoes with mini marshmalllows and broil until lightly toasted.
• Freeze in quart size bags just like butternut for future use. Add to sneaky soups, chili and marinara sauces.
• Puree in food processor with a few tablespoons water and freeze in ice cube trays for baby or toddler food. Freeze and move cubes to a quart size freezer bag with air vacuumed out.
