It is not necessary to soak sweet potato before baking, however it is advisable to pierce the skin to reduce the chances of it exploding under pressure (something that can happen, but doesn't often).

What do you use sweet potato for?

Eating! Sweet Potatoes are the best! Bake a sweet potato - best wrapped in aluminum foil on the grill turned every 10 minutes for about an hour. Top it with brown sugar and butter. Mash sweet potatoes - peel, steam them in a steamer basket, then add a little butter (optional but will make smoother). I like a little chipotle peppers with adobo sauce mixed in. Sweet potato fries - cut into proportional sized thin (1/4 inch x 1/4 inch x half the height of your potato) then coat with about a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan or cast iron skillet. Add a pinch of salt and brown sugar (your choice of pepper is optional) and bake at 500 degrees for 10-20 minutes turning once during baking. Sweet potatoes are also used in place of pumpkins in many pumpkin pies! Makes for a better color and the flavor is richer.
