Preparation

Step 1

Select evenly-shaped potatoes for even baking. Wash, trim and dry.
Grease skins, if desired. (I do)

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue baking until potatoes are soft.

It takes about an hour for medium potatoes, 1-1/2 hours for large ones.

REMEMBER:
DO NOT wrap sweet potatoes in aluminum foil for baking. If you do, they will be steamed, not baked. They will not have the sweet syrupy flavor of a good baked yam, this also is true if they are cooked in the microwave oven.
