Cooking:

Sweet potatoes become sweeter when cooked slowly and low temperature. The most effective method is that of "Ishi-yaki" (baked), which consists of burial potatoes packed in aluminum paper in a clean container and heat for more than 30 minutes.

For more common equipment, oven cooking for 20-30 min works well. If you want to cook the steam potatoes, steam for 35 minutes and dry them a few minutes.
