Bayou Belle and Covington Sweet Potatoes

In order to store well, sweet potatoes are cured after harvest. After spending 10 days at 85-90 degrees, the sweet potatoes will keep at 60 degrees until spring, which is good because Nichols Farm harvested over 30,000lbs (!!) this season.
The Bayou Belles are the purplish-red, ones, while the Covingtons have brick orange skin.
