Can you oven bake a sweet potato by starting very hot then turning down very low for over night?
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.
