I'm steaming them... but they aren't the sweet potato color we expected. It's definitely not a pumpkin sweet potato. Just the tasteless ones sold at American supermarkets. American sweet potatoes. That is it. I gave one to my dog, and... He tasted a little, but even the dog won't eat it. It was on sale, so... I bought five bags... what should I do? Should I throw them away? They taste just bland. A very faint sweetness. I'm not buying sweet potatoes from Weee anymore. They always play games with the prices... These tasteless American sweet potatoes. They tricked us by selling them as pumpkin sweet potatoes... They weren't like that at first... It's really a shame that the weee is getting worse.
