ok, how do you make baked sweet potatoes???

As far as I know, you just bake 'em in the oven the same way you would a regular potatoe. However, you could add some cinnamon or brown sugar to the butter you use on the potatoe...just an idea

I make them three different ways.......

-bake in oven or on the grill for about 45 min, until almost ready. Remove, cut open and put in a little butter, cinammon and brown sugar. Wrap in foil in the oven for another few minutes,

-slice in half lenghtwise and put on a baking sheet. (skin on) sprinkle with brown sugar and bake. As soon as you take them out of the oven put a pat of butter on each half and some cinammon

-boil til tender. remove from water and remove skin. slice into 1-2 inch slices. put in glass baking dish. almost cover (don't put too much or it will spill over) with maple syrup. Put in a few tablespoons of brown sugar and 1-2 teaspoons cinammon and a few pats of butter. put in over for about 10 minutes. if you want, you can cover with mini marshmallows and put unbder broiler for a minute or two at the end.

Enjoy...... (I like sweet potatoes - can you tell??? )

If you like mashed potatoes....These are AWESOME!!!!!

Tipsy Sweet Potatoes

4 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
1/2 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted

In a large pot, place sweet potatoes and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain and cool enough to handle. Peel off the skins. In a mixing bowl, mash the potatoes with the butter. Stir in sugar, salt and whiskey. In a buttered 2-quart casserole dish, spread half of the potatoes and sprinkle with half of the pecans. Repeat the layers. Bake at 325 degrees F until hot, about 30 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Note: Light brown sugar may be substituted for white sugar for a more caramel flavor.

I just bake them like regular potatoes. IMO, they're sweet enough... so I don't add a single thing to 'em!

Just remember if you bake them to put a sheet of foil on the rack under where they're baking to catch the drips. Since they have such a high sugar content they tend to bubble over (from the holes that you poke with a fork) and make a mess! If it hits the bottom of the oven it burns and then makes the smoke alarm go off! (Can ya tell I've been down this road before??)

in my house we estimate.. you put the ingredients in then decide what you need to add more of

Boil sweet potatos then peel them, mash them up with....

banana
RUM
Brown Sugar
