Can sweet potatoes be cut ahead of time or will they turn brown?

In: Food and Cooking [Edit categories]

yes you can and to make them not turn brown or anything thing (like sliced apples) ex. just put them in water and add some sort of an acid like lemon juice; that will stop them from browning.

Answer

I agree with answer #1. A little lemon juice, orange juice, or anything acidic will keep apples, etc, from turning brown. This is a must when making guacamole salad which will turn dark very quickly. Tossing guacamole pieces in lemon juice first will keep the salad a beautiful green for a long time.
