Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Scrub the potatoes well and pat them dry. Place them on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet, and prick all over, 5 to 6 times each, with a fork.
- Roast for 45 to 60 minutes until tender when pressed with your fingers or a fork or knife inserts easily into the flesh.
- Make a lengthwise cut across the top of each potato to open it up and finish with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- Use similar-sized potatoes. This will ensure they all cook evenly and in the same amount of time.
- Line the baking sheet for easy cleanup. Sweet potatoes release a lot of juicy caramelized sugar while baking, which can make a sticky mess if your baking sheet is not lined.
- Prick each sweet potato before baking: Use a fork to poke holes all over the potatoes to create steam vents. Otherwise, you run the risk of steam building up in the potatoes, which can cause them to explode, making a big mess in the oven.
- If you want to eat the sweet potato skins: Rub the sweet potatoes with a little olive oil so you end up with crispy skin.
- For a fluffy interior, after cutting the lengthwise slit across the top of the potato, press the two pointed ends towards one another to open up the top. Fluff the insides with a fork before adding toppings.
