INGREDIENTS:
Medium sized sweet potatoes, 
  (orange-fleshed variety)
  washed, dried, and lightly
  pricked with fork
2 tablespoons oil
Salt and pepper (or sugar, if desired)
Unsalted butter 

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rub potatoes
with oil, then arrange on foil-lined 
baking sheet as far apart as possible.

Bake until knife tip slips easily into
potato center, 40 to 50 minutes. Slit 
each potato lengthwise; using kitchen 
or paper towel, hold ends and squeeze 
together slightly until soft flesh
mounds up.  Dot with butter and season
with salt and pepper or sugar to taste.

*The kid's will LOVE it you top the
 potatoes with minature marshmallows,
 return to oven till brown!
