Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash sweet potatoes and poke holes with a fork (about 4 for each potato). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and place in the center of the oven.

  • Bake for about 60 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are a bit wrinkly and fork tender.

  • Remove from oven and let cool. Once cool enough to handle, use your hands to peel the skin away from the flesh. Discard the skin (or snack on it).
