Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, evenly colored skin. Avoid any potatoes that are soft, bruised, or have cuts or blemishes.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes before baking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork into the center of the potato. If it goes in and out easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Add the spices and sugar to taste. The amount of spices and sugar you add will depend on your personal preferences.
  • Serve the sweet potato pudding warm or cold. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or dessert.
