Answer 2

Answerwell my personal opinion is there is one main way to prepare.... you must bake in the oven like a baked potato, when the outside feels soft it is ready... you can put butter and cinnamon in it, or caramel sauce , this is once it is cut open of course, then add marshmallows on top and bake again till marshmallows are brown on top,

also yams which is like sweet potatoes and be cooked in light syrup with cinnamon and pecans..YUM!

If you have a fireplace, light it. After there is a decent fire, you can wrap he sweet potato in tin foil after stabbing it with a fork, just like a baked potato. You can eat it plain after it is done cooking, or you can add butter, bacon, cheese, and other good stuff.☺

Answer 3

Most of the instructions for baking a sweet potato are similar to a baked russet potato, but the key difference is timing. Though sweet potatoes are harder than russets when raw, sweet potatoes bake much more quickly than russets, so baking them like a plain baked potato will overcook them.

Step-by-step Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Rinse and scrub the potato with a good brush to remove dirt or any debris.
3. Poke holes all over the potato, on both sides, with a fork.
4. If you plan to eat the skin, you can brush it with oil.
5. You can either wrap them loosely in foil, or bake them just as they are.
6. Place potato directly on oven center rack.
7. Bake for 60 minutes.
8. Using a pot holder, gently squeeze the potato. If it is soft, then it is done. If not, continue baking and check the potato every 10-15 minutes until it is done.

Old answer: Bake them whole, like a regular baked potato.
You'll need:

6 medium sweet potatoes (2 1/4 pounds) 1/4 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons milk 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened 1/8 teaspoon salt

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and put them in for 45 min. Remember to pierce them with a fork to allow steam to escape. Once out of the oven, cut the potatoes lengthwise and it scoop out of it's skin. PUt them in a bowl and MASH them until smooth. Then add sour cream, milk, brown sugar, butter and salt. Mix it all together. Now refill the empty skins with the whipped modified sweet potatoes, and bake them for about 25 min in a 400 degree F oven. [until they're golden brown]

to can potatoes, first you grab a turd, squeeze the juice into a can. Then you cook a potato in boiling water for 5 minutes, and place the potato in the can. add more turd juice until full, and then seal the can.

Answer 5

Sweet potatoes can be grated raw into slaws and salads. They are delicious cooked whole. The skins of baked sweet potatoes become puffy and crisp, and the insides become sweet and soft. While baking is the most traditional way to cook sweet potatoes, there are many other ways to prepare them. When cooking whole sweet potatoes, pierce their skin several times with a fork and bake at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until tender. Sauté sliced or diced sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes. Boil by adding 1-inch thick slices to a skillet with 2 inches of boiling water; cook for about 12 minutes. Steam 1-inch slices over simmering water. Microwave whole sweet potatoes for 5 to 8 minutes, rotating halfway through. Micro-bake whole sweet potatoes by microwaving for 4 minutes, then baking at 450 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes. Grill or broil 1-inch thick slices for 10 minutes or cut a sweet potato in half lengthwise and grill 20 to 25 minutes.

There are many recipes dealing with sweet potato.

Treat them as you would regular potatoes and bake. Peel, boil, and mash, or you can cook them as you would french fries. They take less time to cook and because of the extra natural sugars in them, they brown much faster than regular potatoes.
