Leave it in a cool and ventilated place for 3 to 5 days, so that you can lose some moisture, the sugar rises, and it is very sweet after drying.
2: Soak in light salt water before drying
Dried sweet potatoes are exposed to the air, and there are many bacteria and germs in the air, which will cause the sweet potatoes to deteriorate. After soaking in light brine, a layer of salt will form on the surface, which can block these harmful substances and ensure that the dried sweet potatoes are not moldy.
Table salt also prevents sweet potatoes from being oxidized and turns black, maintaining the color of yellow,orange and orange.

Why steam dried sweet potatoes? The use of high temperature makes the inside of the sweet potato soft and sticky, and the surface loses moisture, so that it becomes chewy on the outside and soft on the inside.
