Cup of Yum
For Baking in the Oven
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Bake for covered for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and light golden brown.
Cup of Yum
For Baking with Coals
- With dutch oven on a stand or on a safe ground area, place 9 coals on the bottom and 18 coals on top. This should heat to about 375 degrees for a 12 inch shallow dutch oven.
- Check periodically and adjust coals as necessary, adding more when the original coals begin to die down.
- If the bottom of the potatoes are cooking too quickly even with coal adjustment, add ⅓ cup water to the bottom of the dutch oven.
- The potatoes are finished when they are soft, this takes about 45 minutes.
Notes
- If you are wondering why the potatoes in this recipe are white instead of orange, it is because sweet potatoes are actually white. Yams are a deep orange color and are often confused with sweet potatoes.
