Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and poke holes with a fork. Hold the sweet potato under running water and use a vegetable brush to scrub away the dirt. Use a fork to poke the potato to let the steam out of the potato while baking. Insert a fork into the sweet potato, about 1.5 cm deep. Poke about 6-12 times, remember to prick all sides of the potato. You can bake as many bulbs as you want. [1] X Research Source
Preheat the oven to 104 degrees Celsius and oil the outside of the potato. Use vegetable oil or olive oil to apply a thin layer on the outside of each potato. This step helps to keep the skin moist and soft. You can put a few drops of oil on the potato and rub it with your hands. [2] X Research Source
Loosely wrap the potato in foil. Loosely wrap each potato in foil to help cook evenly. Leave a bit of space at the ends instead of wrapping them close to the potato to allow steam to escape. [3] X Research Sources
Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes. Place the foil-wrapped potatoes directly on the griddle in the center of the oven. After 45 minutes of baking, take out a potato to see if it’s cooked. Carefully remove one from the oven with a pot lifter, unwrap the foil, and poke the potato with a knife. If the knife pokes the potato easily, it means the potato is cooked. If the potatoes are still firm, continue to bake 5 minutes at a time until tender. [4] X Research Sources
Leave the sweet potatoes in the oven for an additional 15 minutes after baking. Turn off the oven, but leave the potatoes on the griddle for another 10-15 minutes. This step is for the sweet potatoes to cook evenly! When the time is up, use a pot lifter to remove the potatoes as they are still very hot. [5] X Research Sources

Store sweet potatoes in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container. If you haven’t eaten all the baked sweet potatoes, you can place them in an airtight container like a Tupperware can and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months. [6] X Research Source
Baked sweet potato cut into cubes
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into squares. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the sweet potatoes. Use a cutting board and sharp knife to cut each potato in half, then cut each half into slices about 4 cm thick, then cut each slice into 4 cm thick squares. [7] X Research Sources
Preheat the oven to 232 degrees Celsius and arrange the sweet potato pieces on a baking tray with a rim around it. Use a rimmed baking tray so you can pour the chips in without having to worry about them sliding off the tray. Spread the peeled and cut potatoes evenly in the tray. [8] X Research Sources
Add olive oil, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Drizzle 60 ml of olive oil over the potatoes and stir to coat each potato evenly. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons (10g) of salt and ½ teaspoon (2.5g) of black pepper over the sweet potatoes. Toss the potatoes so that the seasoning is evenly distributed. [9] X Research Source

Pro tip : To make the fries spongy on the inside and crispy on the outside, blanch the potato slices in a pot of salted water, then pat dry and freeze. When you’re about to eat, you’ll coat the potato slices with cornstarch and fry them until golden!
Fry sweet potatoes for 2-4 minutes. Carefully fry in small batches, dropping the coated potato slices into a deep fryer or cast iron skillet. Fry for 2-4 minutes or until crisp and golden. Continue frying the remaining batches of potatoes. [26] X Research Source
