How to Dice a Sweet Potato
Dice is a cooking term which means cut into small, evenly-sized cubes. This technique results in food that is pleasing to the eye, and allows the food to cook more thoroughly. Foods can be diced into cubes of any size -- the method is the same. Sweet potatoes are often diced because, unlike some vegetables, they need to be cooked evenly or they'll be difficult to consume. After dicing, sweet potatoes can be baked, fried, steamed or broiled.
