Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet, whole with the skin on, and roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft and the peels are papery and pulling away from the flesh. Let them rest until they're cool enough to handle. Then take a knife to slice them down the middle, peel the jacket to the sides, give them a little mash, and season.
