Baked Sweet Potato

This is the best way to eat a sweet potato. We have baked sweet potatoes with our steaks instead of idaho potatoes. It's a nice complement to chicken and beef - or any other meat that i can think of! This can also be made on the grill or tossed in the coals if you are camping!

Steps

Preheat oven to 400f.
Bake yams for 45 to 75 minutes.
When they are done , the outside will have darkened and the inside will be soft.
You may see liquid from the potato oozing out and charring.
When the potato is sliced open , the inside of the skin will be charred black from the caramelizing sugar in the potato.
This is a perfectly cooked potato.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
To serve , slice a potato down the center.
Add two tbs of whipped butter , then sprinkle some cinnamon / sugar over the top.

Ingredients

garnet yams, granulated sugar, cinnamon, whipped butter
