Carrie wrote to tell us how she bakes her Sweet Potatoes "I baked for about 45 minutes at 410 F on the lower rack of the oven. The taters were so yummy. 

Here's my tip, run them under water and then poke holes with a fork then run under water again then wrap and bake. The water helps cook them - works with baking white potatoes too. - 20 March 2008
3. Remove skins by slitting the sweet potato lengthwise when cooled then scoop out the "meat". Use a liquid from your preferred source to puree or thin the sweet potatoes.

Boiling/Steaming Sweet Potatoes for Baby Food:

1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into small chunks
2. Place chunks into a pan with just enough water to slightly cover potato
3. "Steam" boil until tender, be sure to check on the water level.
4. Reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the sweet potatoes if desired.

Microwave Sweet Potatoes: (we prefer to not use a microwave for cooking)

1. Wet and wrap sweet potatoes with microwave safe plastic wrap. 
NOTE! You can skip the plastic wrap and simply wet the sweet potatoes and move to #2!*
2. Poke holes in the wrap with a fork and microwave for 10 minutes or until done. 
3. Remove skins by slitting the sweet potato lengthwise when cooled then scoop out the "meat". Use a liquid from your preferred source to puree or thin the sweet potatoes.

Place cooked sweet potatoes into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing. 
Add the reserved water or other liquid as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency
