Our sweet potato cooks give some advice:
- I usually bake a small- to medium-sized sweet potato for 40 minutes in a 350-degree oven. I usually pierce it once or twice with a fork and put foil under it while it cooks. Something I have found very delicious is adding a little butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and a few raisins to the cooked potato after it comes out of the oven.
- Choose sweet potatoes about 8 oz each. Bake at 450 degrees for 20-30 minutes until soft when squeezed between the folds of a towel. You can also boil the potatoes for 15-25 minutes. Small slender potatoes can be left whole, but larger ones should be cut in half.
- You could also throw it in the microwave till nearly done and finish off in the oven brushed with olive oil to crisp the skin. This will help to conserve energy so that your oven is not running so long.

∙ 8y agoFor a Regular sized potato (3"-4" long), try 50-60 minutes at 350-400 degrees. (This varies depending on whether you want just cooked or well cooked skin.)
Either use a baking pan with the potato uncovered for dry crispy skins, or wrap the potato in foil without a baking pan for softer skin (add 15 minutes to cook time if wrapped).
For 7"-8" baking potatoes cook 80-90 minutes at 400 degrees for either wrap method.
Options: Rub butter or other oil on skin to add taste and help keep soft in either version. You can add salt and pepper to taste before cooking. Too much salt may dry the skin. Sea salt is a good choice.
Only for conventional oven method - Place a metal cooking pin all the way through (use two if needed) to cut the cooking time by a third.
When potato is done, you should be able to squeeze slightly lengthwise or cross-wise for softness.

∙ 13y agoBake a sweet potato the same as for a russet potato. Bake at 400 degrees for one hour. It's done when you can easily poke a fork into the potato. Bon Appetit!

How long do you cook 12 baked potatoes?
If baking in a conventional oven, the time is not changed whether cooking 1 or 12 potatoes - about 45 minutes at 400 degrees. Test for doneness by piercing with a fork, as smaller potatoes will be done more quickly. If baking in a microwave, you do need to add more time for additional potatoes. The timing will also be effected by the size of the potatoes, as well as the type of microwave itself. 12 large potatoes would fill up a standard microwave. I would begin with 20 minutes, testing the potatoes for doneness every minute after that.

What is the effect of too high or too low temperature on baked products?
It would change cooking time, lower temperature means longer cooking time. Also, you are less likely to brown something at a lower temperature. When baking sweet foods, such as cookies or cakes, the lower temperature brings out the sweetness more. At higher temperatures the flavor of the oils become more prominent. When eggs are part of the recipe it is necessary that the internal temperature of the baking item reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius) in order to kill any dangerous bacteria.
