Hey, Grandpa, What’s for Supper?

How do your cook your sweet potato? I have googled it twice and it been terrible. Hard as a rock. Aluminum foil with and without.

Seems simple but ......

I’ve baked them both ways, but prefer foil and a very light coating of vegetable oil after washing thoroughly. It makes the skin tender enough to eat. It sounds like you may not be cooking them long enough. Unless you are overcooking them way too much.

I just want restaurant quality or close to it.

I cooked it 45 min maybe a little more at 400ish.

Keep baking!

AI says:
“Bake whole, scrubbed, and pierced sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for
45 to 60 minutes (up to 75 minutes for very large ones) until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.”

Maybe I should try another 15 to 20 min.

Working on cleaning out the freezer during this snowstorm. Got an old frozen cheap, pepperoni pizza. Adding a salad and unsweetened iced tea and some vanilla ice cream.

I had a pot roast in the slow cooker all day. It was mighty fine. Lots to freeze for later.

Lots of snow on the ground so my wife made chicken and dumplings and collard greens. Had some ambrosia along with it and a small serving of peach cobbler for dessert. Hit the spot!

Tonight we had a burger with sautéed mushrooms and grilled onions. Ranch pasta salad as the side. Pretty good.

Just went to the local meat market and got me some fresh ground hot sausage and to Cracker Barrel for some pancake mix. Going to have one of my favorite meals on a cold winter night tonight. Fresh sausage patties and pancakes with a diet Pepsi.
