Can I cut sweet potatoes the day before I want to use them?

Tomorrow, we are going to my husband's aunt's house for the afternoon. Since there won't be much food-wise, in which I would be interested, I thought I'd cut two or three sweet potatoes tonight, or tomorrow, before we leave. I know that with white potatoes they might brown, but I don't know about sweet potatoes. (In the past, I've cut white potatoes for my daughter in the afternoon and had too much. I put them in a Tupperware container, in the fridge and they were brownish by the evening. I microwaved them for myself, though.) Anyway, I searched on-line, but found inadequate information.

Thank you.

    Cut your sweet potatoes, then put them in a container with a lid, covered with cold water. The water will help to keep them from oxidizing.
