In Season: Sweet potatoes

​
We’re right on the cusp of sweet potato season, and this versatile vegetable deserves a spot on your plate outside of Thanksgiving dinner.

Everybody can pick out a good sweet potato. Just avoid cracks or bruised vegetables and opt for firm potatoes. Sweet potatoes don’t need to be refrigerated and can last for several weeks as long as they remain dry. Cooked sweet potatoes can last for up to a week in a Tupperware container in the refrigerator.
