To Bake Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes may be baked like white potatoes; or they may be cooked in this manner: Boil in water until they can be easily punctured with a fork; then drain, remove the skin, divide into halves lengthwise, dust with salt and sugar, roll in melted butter; place in a dripping pan and bake in a hot oven until a rich brown crust is formed. After sweet potatoes have been parboiled and peeled, they may be put in the roasting pan with chicken, turkey, beef, veal or other meats and thus baked. Sweet potatoes are improved in flavor by being thoroughly cooked.
