How long should a pot of cut up sweet potatoes take to boil?

It typically takes around 15-20 minutes to boil cut-up sweet potatoes until they are tender. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size and amount of sweet potatoes, as well as the boiling temperature and altitude. To check if the sweet potatoes are done boiling, you can insert a fork or knife into a piece. If it goes through easily, the sweet potatoes are ready.
