Scrub the sweet potatoes well under running water. Piece holes with a fork.
Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 325°F until potatoes are tender, for about 90-120 minutes depending on the size of the sweet potato. No need to preheat the oven.
Test the tenderness by piecing a fork into the potatos. Let cool and enjoy.
