BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Baked Sweet Potatoes image

Sweet potatoes are in the same family as other potatoes but cooking them requires a different approach to get the fluffy interior and sweet caramelized flavor we all love. After testing several techniques-wrapping in foil, pricking and not pricking, using a roasting pan-we found the following method delivered on all fronts, with minimal effort. Pricking with a fork allows steam to release and the potato flesh to separate from the skin, something that didn't always happen otherwise. Baking the potatoes on a wire rack nested in a baking sheet also helped the potatoes cook more evenly (and made cleaning up much easier). Lastly, allowing the potatoes to rest in the turned-off oven for 30 minutes after baking allowed the flavors to develop even further, though you can skip this step if you are short on time.

Time 1h35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes (8 to 12 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack inside the baking sheet.
Prick each of the sweet potatoes 5 times with a fork and place on top of the prepared rack, keeping space between potatoes to allow heat to circulate. Bake the sweet potatoes until a paring knife can easily go through without resistance, about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and let the potatoes rest inside for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cut each potato in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper and top with butter if using.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon table salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes well under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel as best you can.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, just to pierce the skin.
Brush with olive oil.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Potatoes are done when a knife or fork will slide all the way through with no resistance. The potatoes will darken in color and some of the sugars may run out, this is normal. Let the potatoes cool for 10 minutes.
While the potatoes cool, make the butter. In a medium-sized bowl whip the butter with the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth, light, and fluffy.
Slice the potatoes, fluff with a fork, and add the whipped butter, serve and enjoy!
