How to Cook Sweet Potatoes
Use your favorite method to cook the sweet potatoes. To bake them, scrub them thoroughly and arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Poke several holes in them and bake them in a preheated 425 F oven until they are fork-tender, or about 45 to 55 minutes.
To boil sweet potatoes, peel them and cut them into 2-inch chunks. Put them in a large saucepan and cover with cold water with about 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
