Question

When boiling sweet potatoes do you boil the water first?

Answer 1

if you're looking for a smoother mash, however, peel the potatoes first before boiling. to boil about 4 pounds of chopped sweet potatoes (roughly six sweet potatoes) to mash, it will take about 15 to 20 minutes if you start them in cold water. you will need enough water in the pot to cover the sweet potatoes.
