Have you tried baked sweet potatoes?

You prepare them exactly like regular sweet potatoes and you can either top them with butter or sugar and cinnamon. They are very good and I heard they are healthier too?

I made baked sweet potatoes for dinner last night
You cook them just like a baked potato. My 10 y/o daughter and I just like butter on ours. I love sweet potatoes though! I also have a really good recipe with apples and sweet potatoes in a casserole (see below). I brought it for Thanksgiving dinner last year and it was a hit! It's more tart than sweet and really delicious!
Apple-Sweet Potato Bake
3 pounds sweet potatoes
4 medium tart apples, peeled
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1. Scrub sweet potatoes with a veggie brush under cold water. Pierce skin in several places; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until almost tender (I bake them a little longer cuz I like them pretty mushy). Cool slightly; peel potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
2. Cut the apples into 1/4 inch slices; toss with lemon juice. In a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish, alternately arrang sweet potato and apple slices. Sprinkle with pecans.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; pour over potatoes and apples. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
Here's another recipe I make sometimes. It's called "Heavenly Sweet Potatoes" by Campbell's Soup.
Vegetable cooking spray
1 can (40 oz) cut sweet potato, drained
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 ground ginger
3/4 cup Swanson Chicken Broth
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Spray a 1-1/2 quart casserole with cooking spray. Set the dish aside.
Place the potatoes, cinnamon and ginger in a 3-quart bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the potatoes are fluffy and almost smooth. Add the broth and beat until the ingredients are mixed. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared dish. Top with the marshmallows.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until hot and marshmallows are golden brown.

How to keep baked potatoes hot out of the oven?
Our church is having a potluck Februrary 21 where the men prepare the main dishes . DH had decided to bring baked potatoes with all the toppings . He will probably bake about 40 potatoes . How can they be kept hot ? I thought of lining a roasting pan with towels & covering it with its lid . Any suggestions?
baked potatoes to church
Wash and cut in half each potato. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake. Leave the foil on. They will stay hot about 2-3 hours out of the oven. I have used this recipe for 100 people. Put the toppings on ice! It is always a hit!
we are having meatloaf and baked potatoes and spaghetti squash. nm

Meatloaf, baked potatoes, cukes and tomatoes out of the garden. (sm)
Maybe if I get finished with taking the grandkids to their extra-curricular activities early enough I will bake a cake. Been hungry for chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
Sweet Potatoes
I have never been able to stomach sweet potatoes because every recipe I've sampled has been way too sweet. Canned sweet potatoes smothered in maple syrup or brown sugar and mini marshmallows. YUK!
Does anyone have a tried and true recipe that is not so horribly sweet? Maybe I don't like them because I've never had them prepared properly?
Sweet potatoes
Fresh, not canned. Brown sugar and butter, sometimes pecans, but NO marshmellows.
Also pumpkin pie with whipped cream and pecan pie.
I haven't made this yet, but I got it from Allrecipes.com. I like sweet potatoes anyway so will g

Sweet-chocolate; not sweet-cheese. nm
Adorable! Sweet, sweet, sweet!. thanks.nm.

raw potatoes
If I remember correctly, put raw potatoes in the gravy and leave for 15 or 20 minutes or so. The potatoes will absorb some of the salt. Good luck!

Mashed potatoes:
You have to mix in sour cream to stabilize the mashed potatoes or they will become watery. But twiced baked potatoes freeze amazing this way.
Have fun!

1 pint whipping cream.
about 1 1/2 t. salt.

Baked ham question
This year I will, as usual, use brown sugar, pineapple and cherries on my ham. But my question is, other than to have the yummie fruit to eat, how does it change the flavor of the ham since it still has the rind on it? Just wondering. I have tried taking the rind off before baking, but soon found out that was an effort in futility. Hope this isn't something everyone but me knows!
Baked oatmeal.
Hot, right from the oven, with lots of milk, raisins and brown sugar! YUM!

Ok great cooks..need help with baked mac-n-chs!
We all love homemade baked mac-n-cheese. However, I'm not doing something right. I need your help! I made one over the weekend and it was not bad, it was just really bland. The only thing that really had any flavor was the cheese topping LOL I am using the basic ingredients; noodles, milk, eggs, cheese, salt & pepper. I am obviously lacking in the "flavor" department. So who has a great TASTY baked mac-n-cheese recipe?? Thanks!

Baked French Toast
I made this Thanksgiving weekend for breakfast. You start it the night before so it can sit overnight in the fridge. It is so simple and quick, and is absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it!
Note: I sprinkled cinnamon on the top just before baking. Can't have French Toast without cinnamon!
BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 slices of 3/4 inch thick Italian bread, cut in half.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour half of the mixture in the bottom of a 13 X 9 pan. Lay the bread out in the pay and pour the rest of the mixture on top. Flip the bread over so that it's all coated. Cover and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Melt butter in a second 13 x 9 inch pan. Stir the brown sugar and maple syrup into the butter. Move your soaked bread into the pan with the butter mixture. Cook at 350 for 30-45 minutes, depending on desired brownness.

These are all so sweet....
This is the sweetest posts I have read here for a while. I have two. First, the love of Jesus in my life. There is no other comparison to his love. Thank you Jesus! Second, the way my DH searches me out in a crowded room. That makes me feel pretty special! Enjoyed these sweet posts!!
This is actually a sweet one-
My twin sister and I were adopted and from as early as I can remember we were told that we were special cause mommy and daddy got to choose us. For years I envisioned this baby store where parents would cruise up and down the aisles until they found the ones they wanted. And I always did feel special because of it.
Aw, how sweet.
On Father's day I called the house and mom answered, but I had a question about a gift I was getting Dad, so thankfully I thought to ask if Dad was right there too (couldn't tell if we were on speaker). Turned out he had also picked up, which surprised me so much that instead of wishing him a happy FD, I told him he needed to get off the phone! How wude!
I did see him later in the day and apologized, LOL.
How sweet.
My child is the light of my life and love reading things like this. Be sure to write that down so you and she don't forget it as they grow up so quickly. You made my day==thanks!
sweet 16
My daughter is not studious but more of the artsy, eccentric type, but she did not want the big sweet 16 bash. Instead, she had a formal tea party at our house with 7 of her friends. They all wore fancy dresses, high heels. She filled the room with flowers, made little sandwiches, tea obviously, fancy desserts, tablecloths, doilies, etc. It was so over the top, it was funny rather than weird and geeky, and they had a blast! Later, just she and I went to NYC together and saw some plays, went shopping, did museums.
But this is a kid who shops at thrift stores and vintage shops and would not be caught dead in anything bought at a mall. So whatever is "in" is "out" for her.
Sweet 16
 How about tickets to a concert by her favorite performer/group for both of them, rented limo to take them to a fancy dinner first? Or, does she know her friend's family well? If so, how about a dual party? Just thinking out loud. It's a special day for her, one she ought to remember always. My parents didn't have a lot of money, and my sweet 16 (a gazillion years ago) was just a house get-together with about 6 people, but it was fun because that special day was acknowledged. I had a cousin whose sweet 16 was held in a nightclub. Trini Lopez was performing there, and I saw Connie Stevens sitting at the next table!
Wow! How sweet to ask! sm
I didn't want to post "little change in condition" but thank you for asking so I will post an update. It is getting worse but not progressing as quickly as I thought it would back on Saturday. I'm having to hand feed her and am trying to find goodies that will tempt her to eat. I had some liquid pain medicine from before and so she was taking that in tuna water (which she used to love) but now won't even drink that so I can't get any pain medication in her. She didn't sleep well last night. She keeps looking at me and meowing and I wish I could speak cat. The time is close I think. I'll let you know when.

Good to hear you smiling again Hayseed......Cedric is so cute Misha...He and Sasha are gonna keep you busy!
How Sweet!
Wish my baby was still sweet. She's a black lab now 1-1/2 years old and sure knows how to rule hubby. She gives him heck every time he won't do what she wants. 
I can't sit on the couch when he's working or she jumps right up on me and lays upside down on my lap. She's no lightweight, either. She weighs 80 pounds.
