I make sweet potatoes a lot, but typically in the microwave. This was a nice treat, because usually I only get to enjoy real baked sweet potatoes during the holidays or at restaurants. Nothing compares to real oven-baked potatoes, no matter what kind they are. Thanks for posting! Made for the Emerald City Shakers for ZWT7

I love baked sweet potatoes. And nothing is better than butter and brown sugar on sweet potatoes. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 2011.

I LOVE baked sweet potatoes, and the addition of the brown sugar reminds my of how they made them at a favorite resturant of mine in WI! The only chage I made was to use unsalted butter since that is what I buy. Made for ZWT 7-THE HOT PINK LADIES.

I bake yams in the oven often because I like them much better than regular potatoes. I never thought about putting brown sugar on them and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the tip on how to serve them. Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT7-Africa.
