Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Wash and scrub those of a uniform size; do not cut or scratch the skin. Put them in a baking-pan, place them in a hot oven and bake until when pressed with the hands they seem mellow in the centre. Do not pierce them with a fork; serve them in their jackets. Roasted potatoes must, of course, be served at once when taken from the oven, or they become heavy.
