Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
-
Step 2.
Scrub 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total) and pat them dry with a paper towel. Pierce each potato in several places with a fork.
-
Step 3.
Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
-
Step 4.
Bake the wrapped potatoes for 45 to 55 minutes, until they are soft and the sweet juices begin to ooze from the fork holes. The exact time will depend on the size of the potatoes.
-
Step 5.
Let the baked potatoes cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then unwrap them and serve.
