Just plain frozen sweet potatoes without any extra crap

[Anonymous]

Since sweet potatoes are a bit harder to cut than regular potatoes I've been getting the frozen ones but I hate the fact that there are so many added ingredients. I don't understand why. I just want plain frozen sweet potatoes. I can do 2 or 3 at a time, but after that it gets a bit risky. Has anyone been able to find a brand that doesn't add a ton of extra stuff, or just not any extra stuff?

Have you checked out Whole Foods or MOM's? They should have what you're looking for.

I've not seen that brand before, I will check them out. I probably should clarify that I'm making sweet potato fries. And no, I haven't really checked out Whole Foods because I usually do my shopping late at night after they've closed.

And never been to MOM's. I think there's only one kind of near me... on 29, near the new Target?

What? How is it hard to cut sweet potatoes? Assuming you want to cut sweet potato slabs or fry shapes, just cut a tiny slice off one side to make a flat base and then slice into slabs and again into fries if you want.

I get them at Safeway. I forget the brand but it's a paperbag-colored package in the frozen veggie section. Plain sweet potatoes cut into cubes.

If you want to make sweet potato fries, the easiest way is in the cuisinart. It cuts fries perfectly.

Sure, but then you have to clean your food processor which is more work than cooking an entire gourmet meal.

Get a mandolin. Perfect cuts and dishwasher safe.

Eyeroll. Sweet potatoes are tougher than regular potatoes. I have a french fry cutter for regular potatoes because I make fries in bulk but sweet potatoes nearly break my poor cutter... because they are harder.

Thanks. I do hash browns too. And I'm better with a description than a name.

Thanks for the tip. We are serious about fries in our house, plus we make them in bulk to freeze. So clean up wouldn't be a big deal.

I remember researching mandolin's and for some reason, I seem to recall them not being recommended for cutting sweet potatoes. I can't remember why or if I'm thinking about something else completely different. I know I will have to get the ones with the "safety" so I won't cut off my fingers. Which I would do. It's a miracle I still have all 10 fingers and toes actually.
