I hate sweet potatoes. I have hated them since being forced to eat “canned yams” at school lunch in grade school.
I’ve tried a couple times. The local rabits always eat the tops.
also, sweet potatoes are not so good to eat freshly dug
they should be allowed to sleep for a month after digging
canned yams are really squash
really
Have an air fryer? Sweet potato fries are pretty awesome!

Alright! Another victim of public school lunches.
A good baked sweet potato smothered in butter is one of my favorite dishes. I like them candied also with a little cinnamon sprinkled on. They are far better than school lunchroom quality yams . . . yuck. I don’t like those either!!!
I love those sweet potatoes too.
You don’t grow sweet potatoes from eyes like you would with russets?
I love sweet potatoes. I can no longer grow them as they take a lot of room. These days my garden is not so big.
The leaves are also edible and delicious. IIRC I would sometimes feed the leaves to my pigs.
peel and slice 4 sweet potatoes.
1 cup brown suger.1 cup white sugar, 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 4 tlbs. butter. Put in heavy pan, heat on medium low, cover , cook until tender. Do not stir.
Yummy 😋
Easier than regular potatoes. Cut slips
Ping
“canned yams are really squash

Not.
“Have an air fryer? Sweet potato fries are pretty awesome!”
We deep fry then air fry leftovers.
Sweet potatoes are a good way to grow a large amount of nutrient-dense calories in a package that will keep at room temperature for months. Good prepper food.
I have only grown them from slips. But the beauty of growing from slips is that you get a lot more "starts" from one sweet potato than you do from one irish potato.
