Cook the purple sweet potatoes, then refrigerate them. Cut them into pieces before using. Iced starch is better.

I received a bag of nice looking purple sweet potatoes. I love purple sweet potatoes, it has quite a bit of nutritional benefits. Purple sweet potatoes are good for warding off cancer cells. I was very excited to cook and enjoy these potatoes. Upon steaming two on a steamer , I was very disappointed to find out that it wasn’t really purple sweet potatoes. (I did not boil them in water, I streamed them). The meat of the potatoes were more they than purple. They were definitely sweet potatoes ( they were sweet), but not purple potatoes. I don’t think that I will purchase this particular variety of sweet potatoes again.
