Vegetable
Flesh
Sweet Potato flesh is the edible interior once peel, shell, or tough outer layers are dealt with—sweet starchy flesh that caramelises when roasted. Cut, mash, or purée according to firmness and the dish. Work with a sharp knife on a stable board; manage juices so salads and sauces do not water down. Season lightly first so you taste the ingredient, then build fat, acid, and salt.
