baked sweet potato

This is a favorite go-to recipe on a day when I really don't feel like cooking. I cook them just like a baked potato. Pop it in the oven for an hour and go on with your life knowing that a tasty dinner will be ready before you know it. For us, this is a main dish that I will serve with another veggie or a salad.
