Update: You can bake sweet potatoes this way too! Made them tonight with Cooked Kale.
These potatoes are really easy to prepare, and the cooking time is shorter than baking whole potatoes. The skins are crispy and salted, so you can really eat these potatoes without any toppings and they taste great! But if you do want some toppings, we used grated cheese and parsley, and that tasted really good too.
