What is the baking time and temperature for sweet potatoes?

Answer 1

Cooking Sweet Potatoes

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.

Answer 2

For 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.

Answer 3

Wrap in foil, bake for 45 to 55 minutes at 350 degrees, or till soft in the center when pierced with a fork.

Answer 4

Bake 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!
