Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork – place on a baking sheet and roast in regular oven for about 30-35 minutes until potatoes are very soft. Immediately slice potatoes open to release steam.

When potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into bowl and mash until smooth; discard skins.
