My Mom baked the best sweet potatoes. For years I tried to replicate hers and always blamed my not having a gas oven as to why mine were not quite as juicy and as flavorful. In fact I tried wrapping in foil but they still were not perfect. My problem was not the gas oven or wrapping in foil it was not having my heat high enough. For a melt in your mouth sweet potato try this recipe. No butter needed; the sweet potato will make its own juices.
Quick question – do you eat the skins?
Do I? Yes, MawMaw does!
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 sweet potatoes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Step 2
Place foil under the sweet potatoes to catch the juice spills.
Step 3
Place potatoes on the foil and bake a minimum of one hour and fifteen minutes.
Step 4
If potatoes are thicker cook longer.
Step 5
Generally if you smell the aroma; potatoes are done.
Step 6
Rather than piercing the potato, use the squeeze method to determine if they are tender enough.
