Scrub the outsides: Since sweet potatoes are grown in the ground, they can be dirty on the outside. Carefully scrub the skin of your sweet potatoes using a damp paper towel or a potato scrubber to loosen up any dirt.
Use a sharp knife: Sweet potatoes are a little harder to cut than normal potatoes, so make sure to use a sharp knife for easier results.
