How to make baked sweet potatoes

  • Wash the potatoes and leave the skins wet.
  • Rub salt into the skins, prick them all over with a fork and place on the middle shelf of the oven.
  • Turn on the oven to 400 degrees F and bake for about an hour, until the flesh yields and feels soft when pressed.
  • The potatoes can either be served in halves or whole.
  • For halves, split each one lengthways and make close crisscross cuts in the flesh of each half.
  • Then spread with slices of butter, and work the butter and seasonings roughly into the cuts with a knife point.
  • Alternatively, make an incision along the length of each potato if they are to be served whole.
  • Open them slightly and put in butter slices along the length, seasoning with the peppers and a pinch of salt.
  • Tip: Sweet potatoes cook more quickly than ordinary ones, and there is no need to preheat the oven.
