My grandmother loved to bake them like this. She will leave the outer skin on it. And she will bake them until they are soft. She usually will bake sweet potatoes when the weather is cold. Do you like eating your sweet potatoes baked in the oven.

droolMy mother used to make them in the oven or, later in her life, the microwave.. she would load them down with butter and brown sugar.. My husband, son and mother ate them the same way, but I like them mashed and simmered in a pan with brown sugar covering them.. The brown sugar melts and make the potatoes sweet all the way through, then I like to top them with marshmallow and pop the pan in the oven long enough to brown the marshmallows.. Pizza and sweet potatoes for breakfast so far this morning, cream97 are you trying to make me fat?? I know that you are making me hungry.. drool

No, never fat, will I do. I would like to see how creative you can be when preparing any foods.. lol

Hi ya cream!;) I love sweet potatoes. I really love them when they are baked.

My families favorite way for sweet potatoes is I cut them in half, then I put brown sugar, curry powder, and a bit of margarine on the insides. Then I wrap it in tin foil and bake till they are soft and sweet. My three children just love them. They are so great on cool nights as with the curry it has that spice but the sweetness of the sugar, which I love.

You got me craving for some tonight now LOL


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

That sounds delicious. I will have to try the brown sugar flavor.. That is something that I have not seen my grandmother add to her baked sweet potatoes. happy

I do not like sweet potatoes, yams. When I was growing up my mother used to bake sweet potatoes, I ate them because I had to. She also made candied yams, and sweet potato pies, which I did not like either. I can say for certain, that a sweet potato or a yam is one item I have never purchased in my lifelol
Okay, to answer your question, no I do not like eating sweet potatoes baked in the oven.

Basically I like to eat potatoes, when it is fried or boiled...... i haven't tried when the potatoes are baked...... if, the fried potatoes are much chilly, then I love them most........


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

Yes, my father-in-law used to make them fried, and they were so delicious. I remember him once boiling the sweet potatoes in the pot and they were sliced. They tasted so sweet and good. He loved making these with baked chicken in the oven.. happyhappydrool

I do like sweet potatoes and regular potatoes from the oven. Actually when I was a young child I didn't like sweet potatoes at all. Later in years I met my second husband who can really whip up a great dish for Thanksgiving.
It is some kind of marshmallow and brown sugar combination. I think the potatoes need to be either boiled or baked. They are really delicious and now I appreciate sweet potatoes more! happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

That is great that you now love them. I think they taste so good too!happy

Yes, with cinnamon sugar and lots of butter! UmmUmmm good! I don't know if you have a Longhorn's restaurant in your area, but they serve them there.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mentalward (4342)   ranked 44 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

I was reading through all the responses before I respond myself and came to yours and screeched to a halt!

Longhorn restaurant is my all-time, absolute FAVORITE restaurant!!! When my husband and I got married, we did it at the courthouse, then went directly to Longhorn to eat. We ate there on each anniversary, as well. That was our 'special' place. Oh, right... our very first date was at the Longhorn restaurant!

Unfortunately, we moved away last year and there is no Longhorn nearby. cry We'd have to travel about 110 miles to the nearest one. One of these days, though, I'm going to go for it! We'll have to spend the night at a motel or hotel, though, because after eating there I just want to lie down and have a nap! LOL I miss that restaurant SO MUCH!!!

Their food is EXCELLENT! I never had anything I didn't absolutely LOVE from the Longhorn! I've had their baked sweet potato and I must say it's the best I've ever eaten!

Sorry for getting long-winded here, but you reminded me of just how much I miss that restaurant!!! cry


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

I wished that we had an Longhorn restaurant here. We may have one in South Carolina. I don't think that we have one here in our hometown though.. I have seen commercials of this diner advertised on T.V. I would love to one day go here. The way you talk about it, makes me want to eat here anytime!happyhappy


myLot reputation of 82/100. relundad (1581)   ranked 14 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

Mental, I hope you have the opportunity to go there soon since you love it so much. I go there once a week as my employee's love the place and I treat them to lunch there. And you are right its something about their sweet potatoes that just seems better than any others. Most everyone in my group that I am with will have it as a side item

My Mom or my Aunt would make these all the time. They didn't leave the skin on it though & they would make them very sweet with syrup & marshmellows. I used to love it back then, but now I am not into the syrup & just the whole sweetness to it. I am looking for a sweet patatoe cassarole recipe...know of any?


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

No, not that I can think of. But, I can do an search on sweet potato casseroles on the Internet, and I can see what results that I get. happy

Yes cream, I really do love a great baked sweet potato. there is nothing else in the world like them. If I am really hungry for one I will even make it in the microwave.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

I bet they taste good this way. I have never tried baking them in the microwave before.. I wonder if it tastes the same as it would, if it were baked in the oven.. confused

My mom always made sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. She'd make them in the oven cut up into bite sized chunks and put butter, brown sugar and marshmallows on them and bake them. I never liked them and honestly I don't think anyone in my family did. But she made them every year. My sister makes them now the same way for her husband and he loves them. No one else eats them though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

I hear everyone mentioning the marshmallows, I would have to try it this way, and see what it tastes like. I am sorry that you don't like it.. sad


myLot reputation of 84/100. camomom (3539)   ranked 25 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

It's ok there are plenty of other foods to take there place.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (9031)   ranked 2 out of 124 in potatoes  1 year ago

Yes, there are plenty of others! So much!happyhappy
