Tips:

Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select firm and brightly colored sweet potatoes without bruises or blemishes.
Pierce the Sweet Potatoes: Before cooking, use a fork to poke holes in the sweet potatoes to allow steam to escape and ensure even cooking.
Use the Right Amount of Water: Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot, about 1/2 inch. Too much water can make the sweet potatoes bland.
Control the Cooking Temperature: Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently. High heat can cause the sweet potatoes to scorch.
Check for Tenderness: Insert a fork or knife into the sweet potatoes to check for tenderness. They should be soft and easily pierced.
Add Sweeteners and Spices: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, add sweeteners and spices like honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, or brown sugar to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the sweet potatoes with chopped nuts, dried fruits, or herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.
