Notes
- Wrap the potatoes in foil. This allows the potatoes to cook faster. The aluminum foil traps the heat. It will result in a softer skin, so if you like crispy skin, you may not want to use this method.
- Bake your potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil. I've made the mistake of just placing my potatoes on the oven rack, and the juices form the sweet potatoes leaked from the foil, and dripped in the oven creating a burnt mess! You don't want to make this mistake!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
