My freezer manual says keep it at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Check your manual for yours. Sweet potatoes that are blanched freeze well in my freezer. They are good in soups and stews.

Homemade sweet potato fries are the bomb and if there are any left, freeze them in serving size portions. They can be microwaved to thaw and then a quick oven bake to crisp back up. I love to dip them in BBQ sauce or horseradish sauce or sour cream! Yummmmmmmmm!!!!

The potatoes should feel solid,not mushy. If your freezer is working, and butter is hard, it should be fine.

Freezer temperature should always be at 0 degrees Fahrenheit for safety of food storage.
The only safe way to determine freezer temperature is with a thermometer. Freezer thermometers are best but any type of thermometer can be used.

• Information:
• Don't refrigerate raw sweet potatoes, or they will develop a hard core and their flavor will deteriorate.
• How long do sweet potatoes last once they have been cooked and stored in the freezer? Frozen cooked sweet potatoes will stay at best quality for 10 to 12 months.
• The freezer time shown is for best quality only - foods kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely.
• Freezing does not reduce nutrients. There is little change in a food's protein value during freezing.
• Freezer burn does not mean food is unsafe. Freezer burn is a food-quality issue, not a food safety issue. It appears as grayish-brown leathery spots on frozen food. It can occur when food is not securely wrapped in air-tight packaging, and causes dry spots in foods.

anything at sub zero is fine granted they are blanched or cooked first but not too mushy
