3 qt iPot , LP basket steamed sweet potatoes , 3 min , air cooled :

 

IMG_2975.thumb.jpg.869fcfddbe4044c5fd7a1a1797bd6337.jpg

 

looks awful , something orange w metastatic white bits , and some green bits.

 

these were two large SP's , a little over half of what I make , as this was an exeriment

 

using the same add-ins I use w russets and Bliss.

 

I iP'd 4 eggs , LP steam 3 minutes and rapidly cooked in cold water , refreshing once.

 

I usually do the eggs and the potatoes the day before , and refrigerate.

 

I wanted to complete this soon.  so I put the cooled eggs in the freezer for 3 or so minutes

 

to get them very cold , not Fz.  Im guessing the cold eggs pull away a bit from the shell and

 

make peeling easier.

 

these peeled very easily , and the membrane stuck to the shell , not the egg , a key issue in

 

easily peeling eggs

 

if the membrane sticks to the egg , you are going to have a difficult time peeling the egg.

 

once the peeling starts , I squeeze the egg a little , and that creates an air channel down

 

the egg that helps a lot.

 

I keep the skin on my potatoes.  the skin on the SP in the past did mash up nicely , but

 

i lightly scored the SP w a small very sharp knife pole to pole rotating the SP .  just to cut

 

thrugh the skin ending up w smaller bits of skin.

 

usual medium chop . 3 min LP.  I let them cool a bit , but mashed them while still warm 

 

much easier to do that way it turns out .

 

finely diced green onions , a decent dollop of mayo , and used the 4 eggs for this , rather

 

than two

 

the previous ratio of egg to potatoes Ive been using for the white potato version.

 

turned out very nice .    at this stage I could add other seasons , Singapore Curry , other no

 

salt mixes 

 

I have from Penzey's.  but its quite tasty as is.   I refrigerate in a container.

 

to loosen up  the next day before i add it to a plate to micro , a little water is all you need.
