Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water.

Place the whole sweet potatoes in a pot of cold water.

Turn the heat on high and wait for the water to boil.

Once the water is boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot, leaving space for steam to escape.

Set a timer for 30 minutes to boil the sweet potatoes.

After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and check the potatoes for tenderness by piercing them with a fork or knife.

To ensure they are fully cooked, measure the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should be 210 degrees Fahrenheit or more.

Remove the sweet potatoes from the pot and cut one open to check the texture.
