sweet potato ?
 

My secret for tasty stew is a sweet potato. When I can find small ones. Seems these days all I can find are really big ones. Can I cut one in half for later use.

I always cut mine up, even for baking. There should be no problem just wrapping the extra and putting in the refrigerator. And thanks for the stew tip!

I know what you mean about big sweet potatoes. My DH does not like them and it is hard to find a little one just for me. So, I always bake me a big one - cut in half and eat one half and put the other in the refrigerator in a zipper bag and reheat it up in the microwave for another meal and it tastes just as good as if I just cooked it. HTH

My mom cooks them peels them, then freezes them in smaller portions. She microwaves them covered half way in water and a lid to cook them. Be sure to prick them a few times. Microwave 8 min then increments of 5 until done. Very moist and tasty.

Great idea.......I never thought of putting a sweet potato in stew. I will have to try that next time I make it.

Thanks, that's just what I'm needing to know.

Keep in mind the sweet potato cooks faster. I add it near the end.

You can easily cut up the sweet potato and use the remaining half after 2 to 3 days provided you have refrigerated it properly so that it does not become black. You can also make a sweet pie using them.
