Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Wash and dry the sweet potato thoroughly. Use a vegetable scrubbing brush if you have to.
Poke holes in the potato using a fork. I poke the potato in about 5 different locations
Lightly oil the sweet potato
Using aluminum foil, wrap the potato. Don't wrap it too tightly.
Bake for 65 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the potato in the oven.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool to touch
Open the foil and split the sweet potato lengthwise.
Using a fork, pull the pulp away from the skin and place the pulp in a bowl
You can discard the skin or use it in a loaded sweet potato recipe
