abba12 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm making baked sweet potato for the first time. Gone to pull them out to realise I've left them a little long in the pantry. The skins are wrinkled and dry feeling and maybe a little soft to the touch, however there appears to be no actual soft sports or mould and no sprouting either, just dry and wrinkled outsides. Can I still bake these and get a good product? I have no normal potatoes or other alternate starches to go with the roast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would eat them but I would steam them and mash them rather than baking them because baking will dry them out worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yup, I have eaten taters like that. Mash them like Kiana suggested or bake them with olive oil and some seasoning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would eat them, but I would not bake them whole. I'd cube them, drizzle with olive oil, and bake them in the oven. But cutting them up, you can remove any portions that are beyond redemption. But you can leave the skin on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
