I found this foolproof way to bake sweet potatoes here, I've done it many times this way and they always turn out! Pay attention to the time chart for how large your potatoes are, last time I used the guide for large potatoes and they didn't need quite that long but they still turned out great. I like to bake a few of them at once and then have them in the fridge for the week - try out my bbq chicken stuffed sweet potatoes that I'm posting tomorrow on the blog for a quick easy weeknight meal.
1. put a baking sheet covered with foil on the bottom rack (not the bottom of oven).
2. Don't preheat the oven. Prick your sweet potatoes each 2-3 time with a fork, then place them directly on the oven rack in the middle of the oven, above the rack with the foil. Turn the oven on to 425.
3. Bake for 45 minutes for sweet potatoes/yams that are 2-3 inches in diameter. For sweet potatoes that are up to 4 inches in diameter, bake for an hour. For super large sweet potatoes, bake for an hour and 15 minutes.
4. After the time has elapsed, don't open the oven but turn it off. Let the sweet potatoes sit in the oven for at least 30 minutes but up to an hour. Remove from the oven and eat immediately, or remove the skin and store in a container in the fridge.
