Ingredients

  • 6 large sweet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 2 l cold water
  • paprika (for flavoring)
Optional:
  • minced garlic or garlic flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. The first step is to peel, rinse and cut the potatoes into thick slices. A medium potato can be cut into 6 perfect slices.
  2. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them and add 2-3 tablespoons of salt (I used sea salt with dried herbs). Don't worry about the amount of salt; the potatoes will extract just as much salt from the water as they need.
  3. After 30 minutes they will be just right for baking.
  4. Next, preheat the oven to 250° C/480 °F, line a baking pan with parchment paper. Add the potatoes and season them with paprika.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes on high until they get a crispy golden crust and then another 15-20 minutes at 180° C/356 °F until soft and fluffy on the inside.
  6. Potatoes are done when they are golden-brown and little air bubbles form on the surface.
