Baked Sweet Potatoes

Hello.  I am still cooking but I just haven't been blogging as of late.  I've been a bit Lidl happy lately; have a look here

I've had baked sweet potatoes before.  It's amazing how vibrant the soft sweet flesh is concealed within the unassuming skin.  I looked at a few recipes and then added some extra time.


Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 Sweet Potatoes!

Method:

1.  Preheat oven to 190 C.  I would advise that you have lined the bottom of your oven with some tin foil or use a tray/put a tray underneath. 

2.  Pierce each potato all over with a fork.  Wrap each potato with enough tin foil to cover.

All dressed up!

3.  Place in oven for 1hr-1hr 15 mins.  I have a potato rack so I thought I'd test it out.  This is where the tray comes in.  The potatoes will release a lot of sugars and they will burn and it will be a nightmare to clean up. 



4.  Serve




With butter and plenty of black pepper.


Review:

These were very soft and sweet.  I think freshly ground black pepper is the perfect accompaniment with it.  You can also have it with cheese or butter as well.  They really fill you up and they are far from mundane.
