I started following her in 2016 when I went down to Summerville, SC to take care of my sister after a Stroke. She didn't have a TV and I go hooked on your Mom and Mr. Bucky's videos. When Mr. Bucky passed and then 6 months later your Mom passed, I cried like a Baby. They were so humble, so caring, so welcoming that us viewer fans felt like we'd lost a Family member! So happy that you have picked up the Banner, lifted us up and introduced us to your awesome Family. We are proud to get to know you, your family and look for many new videos going forward! God Bless you. We love your Videos. ❤

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was just right on time right on time this year bc im from Arkansas and my mommie & dadd get such a BIGGG load of fresh greens & fresh sweet potatoes both right from their family & friends home gardens w/o any terrible & harmful chemicals. So I just love fresh organic sweet potatoes and freshly organic fall & winter greens. so can you let me know if it is okay to follow your instructions for freezing sweet potatoes and storing them in a zip lock freezer safe bag instead of the plastic containers like you have? I get so many great organic home gardens and fields, I love sweet potatoes so much and I bake one for my dinner sometimes or some days I will eat just a sweet potatoes but I have one or sometimes 2. I love them very much and I just wanted to know if they will be just great roasted/baked, cooled & then freezer mine in large zip freezer bags?

I never thought of freezing sweet potatoes. I don’t do much bulk cooking though. I was surprised they were so close together on the pan. I was thinking they needed more space, but it looks like they turned out great, so I'm guessing they don't need elbow room. Have you tried roasted sweet potatoes? I like to peel them, cut them in cubes, along with other veggies such as peppers, onions, white potatoes, zucchini, etc. I toss them in olive oil and season with herbs and bake on a sheet pan. I am enjoying your recipes, and already have several copied down to try. Thanks for sharing.

Found your channel about five minutes ago. Already enjoying and learning from you. I was given a big bag of fresh pulled beat roots and I've never used beets before. Any ideas? BTW I don't like pickled beets. lol Thank you for teaching me about freezing sweet potatoes.
@PhyllisStokes9 жыл бұрын
Someone Somewhere Put them in boiling water with tap root still attached, have tops cut at about two inches ( this is to prevent all the juice from coming out the bottom) after about five minutes dump water and put cold water in the pot to cool the beets. This process should cause the peelings to slip off easily and you'll need to cut off the tops and root bottom. Now you can cook them in boiling water sort of like cooking potatoes. After they are cooked or steamed slice and put some butter on them along with a little light brown sugar (not much though) and a little salt.They make an excellent side dish, also you can easily freeze the leftovers for later use.Hope this helps.

+Carmen Rivera You can find the Earthbound salads at most grocery stores just wash the container when finished and it's ready to be used.Sweet potatoes are a warm weather crop, you'll find them in abundance in late summer. I think N.C. is the number one producer in this country. My grandfather use to dig them with a pitch fork, leave them lying on top of the ground and let the heat and humidity cure them for several days in late August. When cured properly they should be very sweet.

@PhyllisStokes10 жыл бұрын
You can certainly fix the sweet potatoes by cooking them ahead of time and then freezing. Here's the only thing about boiling sweet potatoes - they lose some potassium in the water in which they are cooked. I fix sweet potatoes sometimes by peeling and slicing then cooking them in orange juice, adding butter, cinnamon and a little brown sugar. They freeze well this way. We mostly use our sweet potatoes in smoothies, sweet potato pie and sweet potato muffins and bread. Hope this helps.

Phyllis, I have searched your site to see if you have a tutorial on freezing white potatoes, I did not see one. I have looked at other videos on how to, but they did not say how they were used after freezing. Potatoes can go to waste around here, so I thought about blanching and freezing some. Do you think it would work for making most potato dishes>
@PhyllisStokes7 жыл бұрын
One year when I purchase a bushel of white potatoes I froze them fully cooked. I placed them in quart freezer bags and mashed them down flat. They could only be used for creamed or mashed potatoes since some of the water separates from the potato. They made excellent mashed or creamed potatoes by defrosting in the microwave then adding cream, butter and salt and using my mixer. I actually drained out some of the water in the freezer bag before mixing them. The potatoes were very good this way but could probably not be used any other way. It worked out surprisingly well since the potatoes are already done making creamed potatoes was really easy since they did not have to be peeled or cooked.
@eilidhaylee95197 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply, I will give this a try, can't be any worse than having to throw out potatoes that have gone mushy. One thing I have learned, take them out of those plastic grocery bags, moisture accelerates the spoilage.

I don't really care for the canned sweet potatoes, they are not as tasty as those you bake in the oven. Because the canned sweet potatoes are packed in water you probably lose a lot of the potassium in the water so no, I do not think they are as healthy as the fresh baked sweet potatoes.
