Freezing Mashed Sweet Potatoes


The grocer had organic sweet potatoes in stock, so I took advantage and brought some home.  I'm freezing them for winter meals.


Yesterday, I baked several, then allowed them to cool completely.   I added a bit of water and organic broth to the pan.  I pierced each sweet potato a few times before placing in the covered pan.




After I removed the foil, I sliced each sweet potato in half to cool faster.  I removed the skin, mashed them, and froze them in individual servings.  



I did not add anything to the sweet potatoes.  Five sweet potatoes gave me 5 - 1 cup servings.

If you have frozen sweet potatoes with added ingredients, I'd love to know how they turned out and tasted.

I love sweet potatoes but our climate is too cool to grow them. I can buy them at our organic co-op, but since husband is "not crazy" about them, I don't do that very often. Yours made into the individual servings look good. Topped with a pat of butter and salt and pepper . . . I wouldn't need anything else!
Mama Pea, I was thinking the same thing - top with butter. I may have to buy blue cheese and make the whiskey butter for them too. Can you freeze blue cheese?

Sweet potatoes can also be nuked. They cook real fast that way.
A lot of sweet potatoes are grown here in the NC Sandhills. Many have been harvested in the past month, and after the machines go through, you can see entire families out there picking up the ones the machines missed. It's back breaking work, but it's nice the farmers let the poor nearby their farms do this to get sweet taters for their families for free.
We always just eat ours with butter, salt and pepper. Yum!!! Don't know about freezing them, no room in the freezer.
God bless.

Thanks RB. Once I get a root cellar dug, I won't have to freeze them for our winter meals.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
