Could not take the suspense any longer

We needed sweet potatoes for supper tonight and I think at 1lb 7oz, these two filled the bill.

Amazing looking spuds there! What did you make out of them?

[gixxerific]

did you already eat them? Your supposed to let them cure for about 10 days first.

Take a look at this https://www.garden.org/foodguide/browse/veggie/potatoes_harvesting/581

or Google "harvesting sweet potatoes".

Unless they were already cured than carry on. By the way those are some nice looking spuds.

Those are wonderful-looking sweet potatoes! And I'll bet they tasted just as good.

Do you serve them baked w/a little butter at your house? Or butter and brown sugar? Or...

Can't grow sweet potatoes here at the house. I mean, I can't even grow peppers or cukes or eggplant, much less something that wants soil temps of 75 deg.-plus for 6 weeks minimum. I mean, I love my redwood tree, but it wreaks havoc with my micro-zone.

So I purchase sweet potatoes/Garnet "yams."

I don't think I could wait, either!
I got the impression from that article that curing is mostly to help with storage, like garlic. I would guess that eating them right away is fine.
