Baked Sweet Potato Recipes & Cooking Procedure (2)

Sweet Potatoes are Yummy Alternatives to Potatoes

Baked sweet potatoes are offered in restaurants in place of the baked potatoes, with butter-and-sugar toppings.

The sweet potato is also known as ‘yam' in some places in the United States. Contrary to its name, the sweet potato is not closely related to the potato, and even more different to the true ‘yam' of Africa and Asia. The sweet potato is a crop plant and a root vegetable.

The sweet potato is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin B6.

Baking sweet potato, wrapped in foil, retains the moisture inside. While baking it unwrapped, gives dry and crusty skin.

This collection of baked sweet potato recipes shows the many delicious ways of eating this starchy root crop.
