Sweet potatoes have got to be one of my absolute favorite potatoes. I usually bake five or six at the beginning of the week and have them for breakfast or lunch throughout the week.

I had to update some really outdated recipe photos from years ago, so we had a pre-Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving dinner in September. These Twice Baked Candied Sweet Potatoes were the center of attention. Everyone loved them.

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.
