  1. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges or cubes.
  2. Add them to a pot of boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes or until they are tender but not soft.
  3. Place the potatoes into a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process.
  4. Drain and cool the potatoes on paper towels.
  5. Place the blanched potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are well spaced and in a single layer. Place the trays into the freezer and leave until completely frozen. This will take 4-5 hours.
  6. Remove the potatoes from the freezer and transfer to resealable freezer-safe bags or containers. If using freezer bags, remove as much air as possible before sealing. Label the bags/containers and place them in the freezer until ready to use.
