—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. November 3, 1973 26 e Exchange . . . . Reel Home on the Range Did you harvest this years sweet potato crop? Here is a suggestion from Mrs. D. S. Stoltzfus from Kinzers for those small potatoes. Sort out the big ones and put them away to store. Using the small potatoes that just dry up when stored - wash, cook and put through a sieve (or strainer). Mix potatoes as you would for sweet potato patties and freeze. For later use, just thaw and fry a little. Did you ever freeze whole sweet potatoes? Wash the raw potatos and cook with the skins on until almost soft. Peel when cool enough to handle, then divide into the size portions needed for your family and freeze. These are quick when you want them later for candied sweet potatoes, and it is a good way to have your own sweet potatoes in the sum mertime. How do you prepare soybeans?
