Sweet potatoes - removing starch
![](/en/cookbook/basic/vegetables/img/sweetpotato_im01.jpg)
To remove excess starch, place cut sweet potatoes into cold water making sure the cut surfaces are submerged. This step is especially recommended for "kinton" (Japanese-style mashed sweet potato) and other lightly seasoned dishes where a delectable color is desired. Soaking time of about 5 minutes is sufficient.
