Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 large sweet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 2 l cold water
  • paprika (for flavoring)

Optional:

  • minced garlic or garlic flakes

Instructions
 

  • The first step is to peel, rinse and cut the potatoes into thick slices. A medium potato can be cut into 6 perfect slices.
    Baked Sweet Potatoes
  • Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them and add 2-3 tablespoons of salt (I used sea salt with dried herbs). Don't worry about the amount of salt; the potatoes will extract just as much salt from the water as they need.
  • After 30 minutes they will be just right for baking.
  • Next, preheat the oven to 250° C/480 °F, line a baking pan with parchment paper. Add the potatoes and season them with paprika.
    Baked Sweet Potatoes
  • Bake for 10 minutes on high until they get a crispy golden crust and then another 15-20 minutes at 180° C/356 °F until soft and fluffy on the inside.
  • Potatoes are done when they are golden-brown and little air bubbles form on the surface.
