You can only have so many sweet potato desserts. It’s time to try something without that extra 100 calorie count of whip cream and brown sugar.
Well, in Asia, most people have their sweet potatoes just as they are after baking them. In Japan, some people even make a small fire with the fallen Autumn leaves and bake the potatoes slowly inside the fire.
Fires here are a little difficult, but your oven will do just as well if you’d like a simple baked potato. Here’s how it goes:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Clean the potato by scrubbing it thoroughly with a brush.
Bake the potato for 45-75 minutes. The bigger the potato, the longer it will take.
When the skin appears to puff up or there is a dark liquid beginning to slip down the sides of the potato, your potato is ready to eat after peeling off the skin.
You can always top the potato with a pat of butter while you’re eating those Thanksgiving leftovers.
