Do you bake sweet potatoes the same way that you bake a regular potato?

  • Sweet Potatoes are lighter than a baked potato. They are usually cooked at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes to allow cooking throughout. Usually, once you smell the aroma of a sweet potato it is almost done. Use a fork to prick the potato. If it is tender then it is done

Is a Baked Sweet Potato as healthier than a regular Baked Potato?

  • Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins A, B, and C, iron, and calcium.
