My process for massively speeding up yam cooking is: .Wash, scrub with veg brush .Stab it with a knife several times all over and deep .Wrap in moist paper towel large then put on a plate .Microwave for 8minutes or so now med high .Stab to test, microwave more if center is still firm .Remove from towel .Pat dry .rub with oil of choice .season outside with salt .finish in oven/toaster oven for 10 min or so, rotating at least once. Serve. Cuts down the time by about 1/4 or so, and ends up with an almost identical end product as roasting the whole time, sometimes superior actually.

You should steam cook the japanese sweet potatos and those purple ones for the cooking method. They cook up in around 20 mins and the steaming process causes the texture of the sweet potatos to be really moist and soft. Gets rid of the dryness.

Let's talk more about why certain potatoes are good or less good for certain things. Being softest and sweetest, the Covington (spelling?) sounds like the best for sweet sweet-potato dishes and most of the orange sweet potatoes sound good for general use. Again, though, what are the kind of things where aspects of any one of these are clearly preferable? All the potatoes here could be used to make fries, but would one be able to fry them together, or are their fry times too different? When it comes to the less familiar non-orange sweet potatoes what are the kind of recipes where one would seek one of these out specifically and NOT the others? I love how many of the potatoes are covered here. Let's get deeper and make ourselve potato experts!

I bought 4 purple Stokes from Kroger in April and thought I'd try my hand at growing SWPOs, regular potatoes, garlic, and different types of onions in 2022 survival garden form. I didn't even consider that the leaves are edible. And in worst case scenarios, they provide people and can be a component of pet food (dogs). It took longer than anticipated to get the Stokes to sprout out and produce slips. I put 3 in moist sandy dirt (laid horizontally on their sides &, barely covered). One was stuck in water with the toothpicks (mind the end positioning, the part that was attached to the plant should be the end sticking out of the water). 2 of the dirt ones rotted on a spot check. The stokes in water sprouted 1st. It seems that there's a lot of back and forth on whether soil or water slip propagation is better. Based on what I've experienced, it's likely the exposure to warmth that is the ticket. The Stokes in water was on a Southeast facing high window sill in an unheated room in April in Southeast MI. The cup it was in was also clear. The dirt Stokes was in the same room, but on a table 2 feet lower. It's more of a storage / grow room where I have a mini greenhouse with grow lights. However, the dirt Stokes wasn't specifically under any lights. It wasn't until I decided to prop / hover the dirt Stokes container over a small back heating pad that it finally did sprout some slips. It wasn't directly laying on the pad so I tried being half safe about it. I would still say give yourself about 30 days lead time to at least get slips sprouting if you have the Stokes. The one in water took about 3 weeks, give or take. After you clip off a slip (I wait until they are at least 6" long), you still have to root them out (get the roots growing out, that is) in water, so that will add extra time. They shouldn't be planted outside until the overnight temps are warm. Say, at least ~50 degrees to ensure the soil temps won't screw things up. So far here in late May, I have harvested about 17 slips. Most I am rooting out in water. I am trying a few others in dirt. Each Stokes provided 2 slip harvests and they are still at it. There should be a round 3 next week. I read where a lady said one SWPO she had going produced slips for *1 year* which I thought was wild. I look forward to seeing what kind of crop I will produce in a bag and guerrilla planting. I need to find out if Stokes are bush-type / determinate or indeterminate. The coming ones might be a problem out in the wild though. Regular potatoes are SO EASY to get going in bags. Wish I would have known that YEARS ago. I use regular grow bags and repurposed 20-40 lb. bird seed and cat food bags with the tops rolled down to btw 14-16". The tarp-like ones. I wouldn't use an actual tarp, there's a chemical leeching factor with those.

They are great for breakfast as a meal. Just a roasted Korean Yam no butter, syrups or seasoning. THey make great pies as well.
