fresh sweetpotatoes

[greengenes]

I made sweet potatoes souffle two days ago. I used just dug 'small' potatoes. It baked up beautifully, but in a few hours I had sweet potato soup. Did the extra moisture come from the potatoes being fresh? I would have left them to grow more, but we had super cold temps.
Thanks.

I posted info on sweet potatoes previously. Look at the links mentioned in this thread. You are supposed to "cure" sweet potatoes for storage and also to turn starch to sugar. It probably reduces some of the moisture content as well.
