No, you do not pre bake the crust.
Depending on the size of the sweet potato, you would bake 35 to 45 minutes. Check for doneness and bake longer if needed. Larger potatoes require longer to get done.
A savory food is one that is not sweet, such as deserts.
Most empanadas I have had were fried, but one receipe I found for sweet potato empanadas said to bake 15 minutes.
You can bake one potato in a microwave in about 3 minutes. Test it with a fork to see if it is cooked right through. In a traditional oven it is wasteful to bake one potato. You can fill your oven with potatoes and bake them all in about ten minutes. Make sure the oven is hot enough to start with.
If you cook a potato in the microwave for 10 minutes, it is done. Putting it in the oven would only crisp the outside. If you want to do that, 10 minutes should do.
When using a conventional oven, the baking times do not change whether you are baking one sweet potato or a dozen sweet potatoes. The baking times only change when you put additional items into a microwave oven.
I just had whole sweet potatoes catch on fire while using the potato setting. My house was FILLED with smoke..the potatoes were flaming and my microwave is ruined. I am now contending with the residual smell. BEWARE.
Yes! It is possible to cook a sweet potato in the microwave. I have not conducted this experiment though i know that it is possible though the results may not be suitable for eating since if you take a sweet potato and plop it in the microwave whole, there is a large chance the outside wil get burnt and the inside cold or slightly warm. � you are welcome :) Although its possible, its not advised since microwaves can destroy vitamins and minerals.
A sweet potato
The first thing you will want to do when cooking a sweet potato in a convectional oven is to preheat the oven to 375 and put the sweet potato in a baking pan. Cook the sweet potato for a half hour. Take the sweet potato out and stab it with a fork a couple of times. Cook the sweet potato for another half hour.
That would probably work if you oven had a very low setting. (Some people might consider it not very eco-friendly though). And you would probably want to wrap the potato in foil to prevent it drying out - otherwise you'll end up with dried sweet potato in the morning. A quicker alternative would be to microwave the sweet potato first, then oven for crispness. Or, sticking a metal skewer through the sweet potato cuts down cooking time in the oven significantly, since heat is attracted to the middle of the potato as well as the outside.
