I was able to get some yummy looking sweet potatoes.Because you cut the sweet potatoes into 1 cm squares and heat them in the microwave, they should be very easy to drain! About 1/3 of the way through straining the potatoes, your sieve or strainer will get blocked up. When this happens, just give the sieve a rinse and the potato should pass through easily again. You can mash the potatoes instead, but if you strain them they'll be much smoother in texture, and have a light, fluffy delicious texture. Recipe by Kyokotan cookpad.japan -

Sweet Potato and Cream Cheese Deli Style Salad Sweet Potato and Cream Cheese Deli Style Salad
We received some sweet potatoes as a gift, and I came up with this recipe. Kabocha squash and sweet potatoes are similar, so I used the kabocha squash salad they sell at the deli counters in a department store food hall as inspiration.The sweet potatoes should be on the soft side. If you think they are little hard when you're mashing them, microwave them for a few minutes. This salad is delicious when it's freshly made, but I recommend chilling it in the refrigerator before serving. If you want a smoother texture, add some milk and adjust.
