Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Scrub sweet potatoes well and pat dry. Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork and wrap loosely in foil, sealing the ends securely.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness by squeezing gently with your hand in an oven mitt. Potato should feel very soft.
  • Slice open and scoop out each sweet potato into bowls, discarding the skin. The skin should easily separate from the flesh when cooked. Mash sweet potato with a fork until desired consistency.
  • Add ingredients from topping combination list to suit your desired flavor profile.

Notes

Tip from the Kitchen
You can bake sweet potatoes in the microwave. Use a fork to poke holes in the raw potato, place on a dish, and microwave for 5 minutes. If not yet soft, cook in additional 30-second increments until done.
