Last year I made sweet potato pie and it had large orange chunks in it. I need to know how to peel them so that it doesn't happen again.

That is a result of not how you peeled them, but how they were pureed. The sweet potatoes need to pureed to make the pie. To do this, simply boil them in water until soft, as if you were making regular mashed potatoes. When soft, drain the water, cool them, then place them in a food processor and puree until smooth. Wrap the puree in cheesecloth and place it in a fine metal sieve, gently press the wrapped puree to drain the excess water from it. Once you achieve a thick puree, you can then proceed to make your pie.

Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.
Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.

Reviewed on Dec. 29, 2003 by KIMAR The flavor was delicious, but it was very sweet. The filling did not set well and was slightly loose, as a few other reviewers have noted. However, I printed this recipe last year and just got around to trying it now. Apparently in the meantime the recipe has been adjusted from "1 large sweet potato" to "1 one-pound sweet potato". Perhaps this will make

Sweet potatoes do not have to be peeled before cooking. Clean the sweet potatoes by rubbing the dirt off under warm running water. Place them in a pot to boil. Test the tenderness by sticking with a steak knife, when the knife goes through the potato, the potatoes are ready. Pour water off potatoes, run cold water into pot to cover potatoes. Wait 10 minutes then peel each potatoes with your fingers. The skin comes right off plus you have not lost any potato. If potato gets too hot, run your hands under cold water and continue to peel.

Hey, while you're cooking with sweet potatoes...look up a sweet potato casserole recipe on copykat.com (Boston Market's version). It is incredible! We served it at our wedding, it is that good. I listed the link for you below. Yum.

How you peel them will never effect the consistency of your finished puree.Wake up

It wasn't the way you pealed them. It was the fact that they were not tender enough(you didn't boil them long enough) and didn't then run them, after draining, through a food processor blender until liquefied.

blanch them. you need to boil them in hot water for a minute and then stick them in ice water and then you should be able to peel the skin right off
