  Potatoes, Sweet--Pieces or Whole
  
  It is not recommended to dry pack sweet potatoes.
  
  Quantity: An average of 17-1/2 pounds is needed per canner load of 7
  quarts; an average of 11 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints.
  A bushel weighs 50 pounds and yields 17 to 25 quarts--an average of 2-
      1/2    pounds per quart.
  
  Quality: Choose small to medium-sized potatoes. They should be mature
  and not too fibrous. Can within 1 to
        2    months after harvest.
  
  Procedure: Wash potatoes and boil or steam until partially soft (15
  to 20 minutes). Remove skins. Cut medium potatoes, if needed, so that
  pieces are uniform in size. Caution: Do not mash or puree pieces.
  Fill jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 1 teaspoon salt per quart to
  the jar, if desired. Cover with your choice of fresh boiling water or
  syrup, leaving 1-inch headspace.
