Sweet potatoes have been in my kitchen for a long time, but let’s face it, they are not a common ingredient in Czech cuisine. So what are sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes are a versatile vegetable that is incredibly filling thanks to their sweetness and texture. When it comes to preparing them, you can bake them in the oven, heat them in the microwave or boil them in water.

Properly cooked sweet potatoes are tender, creamy and incredibly good. And while many people may think so, sweet potatoes don’t just have to be a part of baby food. On the contrary, they are a great versatile ingredient with which you can make lots of great sweet and savoury dishes.

How to cook sweet potatoes?

Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, are a popular ingredient in kitchens around the world due to their sweet taste and versatile uses. Whether you’re preparing them as a side dish, a main dish or as part of soups and salads, sweet potatoes can be cooked in a variety of ways.

Before you start cooking them, it is important to choose good quality sweet potatoes. Look for firm, smooth potatoes with no visible signs of damage. Before cooking, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and remove any damaged parts. For sweet potato patties, I recommend not peeling the sweet potatoes and leaving the skin on nicely.

So many options!

• Cooking whole sweet potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to submerge them completely. Bring the water to a boil and cook the sweet potatoes until they are soft, which takes approximately 30 minutes depending on size.
• Cooking the chopped sweet potatoes: cut the sweet potatoes into equal sized pieces. Place them in a pot of water, bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes. Sweet potatoes are generally cooked a little faster than regular potatoes.
• Preparing sweet potatoes in the microwave: Preparing sweet potatoes in the microwave is a quick and efficient method when you are short on time. First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork in several places, allowing steam to escape during cooking. Then place them in a suitable container. Cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave on high power for approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on their size and the power of your microwave. Turn the sweet potatoes once during cooking to heat them evenly. Once cooked, let the sweet potatoes rest for a few minutes before slicing them.
• Baking the sweet potatoes: this is my personal favourite way to prepare them. See the recipe below for instructions on how to properly bake the sweet potatoes.
