Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if using table salt), plus more for serving
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • chopped fresh parsley optional for garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat the Sous Vide Machine: Fill a large container or pot with water. Attach the sous vide precision cooker and set the temperature to 194ºF/90ºC.
  • Season the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes, peel the skin, and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until they are evenly coated.
  • Vacuum-seal the Bag: Add the seasoned sweet potato pieces into a vacuum-seal bag or zip-lock bags and arrange them in a single layer.
  • Vacuum seal the bag if you have a vacuum sealer, otherwise, use a zip-lock bag using the “water displacement” technique: Just seal all but one corner of the bag. Slowly place it in the water bath, and make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag. (Make sure to arrange in one layer. If your bag is not large enough, use multiple bags).
  • Make sure the sweet potatoes are fully submerged. You can add sous vide weight or use heavy kitchen items to weigh the bag down if necessary.
  • Sous Vide Cook: Cook for 30 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off, take the bag out and remove the sweet potatoes from the bag and transfer to a plate.
  • Season with more salt, pepper and optional chopped fresh parsley.
