Now that we've got our trusty knife, it's time to start preparing our sweet potato for its close-up. You're going to want to wash it thoroughly, because let's face it, sweet potatoes can be a bit dirty. I mean, have you seen the way they grow? It's like they're trying to hug the earth or something.
Once your sweet potato is squeaky clean, it's time to dry it off with a paper towel. This is an important step, because you don't want any slipping and sliding going on while you're trying to cut it. I mean, can you imagine? It's like trying to cut a bar of soap while it's still in the shower.
Now we're ready to start cutting, and this is where things can get a bit tricky. You're going to want to cut off the ends of the sweet potato, just to give yourself a flat surface to work with. It's like building a house, you need a solid foundation or the whole thing is going to come crashing down.
