• Wash sweet potatoes under cold water using a spud brush or your hands to scrub them. Vegetable sprays are great for washing as well.
• Peel the potatoes using a hand vegetable peeler. Holding the sweet potato in one hand use a sweeping motion going away from yourself until all of the brown skin is off.

  If you find that you have brown or black spots you can carve them out using the top of your hand peeler.

  If your peeler doesn't have one then you can use a pairing knife by sticking the tip into the spot and working your way around the spot until it comes out.

How to cut sweet potato fries

• Just like above, you want to cut your sweet potato into rounds. Then stack 2-3 slices on top of each other and cut 1/4 inch strips going vertical.

  You want to make sure that the strips or fries are relatively the same thickness and size so that they cook evenly.

How to cut sweet potato cubes

• Follow the last two steps by cutting the sweet potato into rounds and then into strips cut vertically. Then you want to cut the stack horizontally about every 1/4 inch making them into cubes.

  Note that the size can vary depending on how big or small you would like your cubes.

How to cut sweet potato wedges

• Place the sweet potato on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it in half lengthwise.
• Turn each half of the sweet potato so that the cut side is facing down. Then, use a sharp knife to cut each half into four wedges.
• If there are any blemishes on the wedges, use a paring knife to remove them.
