Baked Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 6 sweet potatoes (or as desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Wash and dry your sweet potatoes.
  3. With a fork, poke holes all over the sweet potatoes so the steam can escape when they are cooking.
  4. Place the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and cook 45 - 60 minutes or until the potato is soft all the way through. You can test this with a knife. (Smaller potatoes will cook faster and larger ones will take longer)
  5. Make a slit in the top of the sweet potatoes and serve. Add toppings of your choice.

Notes

You can also use this recipe to bake yams.

Test the doneness by poking a knife in the largest part of the yam. When they are soft and tender they are done.

Adjust the number of sweet potatoes to how many you need.

The foil will make clean up much easier because the potatoes will ooze as they cook.

Top with butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, chili, beans and more.
