Baked Sweet Potatoes, Baked Potatoes and Baked Yams

Baked sweet potatoes, potatoes and yams are extremely simple to make. When you need something that can just cook in the background while you take care of other things, this is the way to go.

Use a fork to poke holes all over your scrubbed potatoes.

Place directly on the middle oven rack in an oven set to 400 degrees. Cook for about one hour, more or less, depending on their size. I put a large piece of aluminum foil on the lower rack to catch any drippings (many times the sweet potato, potato, and yam juices can seep out of the fork holes and make a mess all over your oven).

Sweet potatoes, potatoes and yams are ready when they "give" when squeezed. Another signal they're almost done is when you can smell their aroma wafting through your home.

Enjoy them, skins and all for a nutritious boost. Or scoop out the flesh. It's all good!
