Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid potatoes that are soft or wrinkled, as these may be old or damaged.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Be sure to rinse them well to remove any soap residue.
- Pierce the potatoes: Use a fork or knife to pierce the potatoes several times. This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from exploding in the oven.
- Season the potatoes: Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly.
- Bake the potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add the toppings: Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and add your desired toppings. Some popular options include butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, and nuts.
