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!
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place foil under the sweet potatoes to catch the juice spills.
Place potatoes on the foil and bake a minimum of one hour and fifteen minutes.
If potatoes are thicker cook longer.
Generally if you smell the aroma; potatoes are done.
Rather than piercing the potato, use the squeeze method to determine if they are tender enough.
