We raise sweet potatoes in our garden. The smaller ones and the ones we cut while digging, I scrub and drop into a large pot and cover with water and boil until they are done.
The others, I keep them on large table in my basement to keep an eye on them and use them for baking or whatever. If any begin to look like they are starting to spoil, I immediately scrub and boil them.
I dump them immediately after cooking to keep them from absorbing any more water. I allow them to cool and then peel and press them into a Ziploc freezer bag. I use quart size bags and freeze. I use them in sweet potato casseroles and puddings for the remainder of the year.

May I suggest another way of freezing and cooking them: I wash and clean cut out the bad spots, leave peel on and steam or bake. I like to steam them as it takes less time than boiling or baking and then I let cool put whole potatoe in plastic gal bags and when needed leave frozen microwave till warm and baked sweet potatoe or pie or whatever and only have to peel when ready to eat.
