Baked Sweet Potatoes are one of my favorite Autumn treats. It warms your heart and soul, and the pleasant aroma is just enchanting.
I did not grow up with sweet potatoes. The first time I tried sweet potatoes I was 18 or 19 years old.
That being mentioned, when I tried them I instantly fell in love with the taste, texture, and aroma.
It reminded me of these delightful winter squash that we had every fall season. It was not a pumpkin, but not a butternut squash either, somewhere in between.
I dearly savored it when I was a little girl. I could not wait until squash slices come out of the wood-burning oven. Mmhmm! It was all I wanted and more. The 80s were special in every possible way.
Nevertheless, my kids are not enormous fans of the sweet potatoes, but they would eat a spoon or two. Well, I heartily enjoyed them mostly by myself through the season and I am entirely fine with it.
Typically, I carefully wrap them with alum foil and roast a couple of them to last me a few days. However, since many do not like to use aluminum making them just like this is just fine as well.
I would recommend making them both ways; sweet and savory. As I said before, I make many of them for later.
I love adding a pat of butter in the hot sweet potato and drizzle with delicious maple syrup. I would rather have that over any dessert, plus it is quite healthy.
Sweet Potato Casserole is coming soon. I cannot wait to share my tasty recipes in two ways, and just before Thanksgiving!

An easy and tasty recipe for delicious Baked Sweet Potatoes
The worst way to ruin a sweet potato casserole or stuffed sweet potatoes is with a gritty texture. Scrub the skins lightly before preparing. Pat dry after with kitchen paper towel or just regular kitchen towel.
Sweet potatoes tend to get a little juicy while baking, so lining the baking sheet first ensures easy cleanup. From time to time I forgot to do it or don't have any parchment paper on hand, but it is so much easier to clean up when you do have it.
The pricking technique is always used when baking regular or sweet potatoes—it reduces the baking time and ensures the potatoes won't burst while baking. Poke the potato skin with a fork or knife in a few places before you bake it. We can't predict which potato might burst so this is always a wise idea.
How can you tell when they’re done? Stick a fork into the thickest part of the potato, if there’s no resistance it’s good to go.

Yellow Rice with Peppers and Tomato Sauce is a family favorite summer side dish. It goes well with grilled food, but you can just eat it as it is. I grew up enjoying rice with peppers and tomato sauce. That being said, I loved mopping […]
Easy Lyonnaise Potatoes are such a comfort food to me. Ever since I was little, I loved the combination of potatoes and onions sauteed in butter.
I do not think there is a better side dish to compliment pretty much any meat, fish. It goes even perfect with eggs.
Usually, I would finish everything and crack a few eggs on top. It is absolutely divine, but that is a recipe on its own.
So, this recipe is coming from Lyon, France. That is why it is named Lyonnaise Potatoes. The city is known for its historical and architectural landmarks. Lyon, less than 300 miles away from Paris, has developed a reputation as the capital of gastronomy in France.
Anyhow, one of my favorite ways to serve this tasty classic French dish is with steamed or grilled fish. In my opinion, these sliced pan-fried potatoes just compliment fish very well.
Anyhow, my husband loves caramelized onions as much as I do so we had this at least a couple of times a month.
To be honest, we have been off potatoes completely since December of 2018, therefore now potatoes make an appearance at hour table ever once in a while.
It is just a wonderful side dish that must try if have not had a chance. I kept it petty classic so please do let me know how you like it?!
I am thinking this would be great with sweet potatoes over Thanksgiving. Sweet and savory type of side dish. I might even try it.
Ever since I became a food blogger my palate expanded and I am more adventures when it comes to food.
As I said many times before, sometimes you need to just to go with your taste regardless of what the recipe says. Honestly, I rarely follow a recipe. I have been cooking for so long now that approximately know how much seasoning I need to add.
Well, I am not ancient. Yes, I am knocking on the door of big 4-0 next February, which I am totally looking forward to. What I wanted to say here is that even though I am 39, I have been cooking for more than 25 years.
Cooking comes naturally to me and I enjoy cooking. Sandra’s Easy Cooking was named only because cooking is really not hard.
Yes, you will burn even eggs, perhaps blow your microwave, set your oven on fire, cut your finger or burn it, etc. but that is all learning experiences. Don’t be afraid to just experiment; taste, smell, look, season, mix, turn down the heat. Just use all your senses.
Okay, lovelies… I hope you try my yummy and might I add Easy Lyonnaise Potatoes. If you do, please tag me on INSTAGRAM @sandraseasycooking with hashtags #sandraseasycooking… and, hey, don’t forget to follow for more easy recipes. Thank you in advance!!!
Easy, tasty and amazing side dish that would wow you and your family.
I like using larger waxy new yellow potatoes, but if you are using regular russet potatoes peel them after boiling and then slice to 1/4 inch slices. That way they will still stay in one piece. There are no right or wrong ways. This is my way of doing it so I do not peel mine when I use these types of potatoes.
