Sweet Potatoes, To Boil Wash and brush the potatoes, being very careful not to break the skin. Throw them into a basin of clean cold water and let them lie for a short time. Then cook them in boiling water slightly salted until they can be pierced fairly easily with a skewer. There should only be sufficient water to cover the potatoes, and they must not be allowed to become too soft. When ready, drain, peel them quickly, and then dry them in the oven a few minutes to make them mealy. Serve very hot. 575. Sweet Potatoes, Broiled Sweet potatoes. Butter or dripping. Seasoning.
