I always hate it when people rate and comment on a recipe before trying it, but here I am doing the same thing. This recipe is so much like my mother’s that I know it is the best I’ve found down to temperature and times. My comment comes immediately because you also mention that they can be baked as cut halves as Mom always did. Thank you. Subscription forthcoming.

Mine are just in the oven now. They look gorgeous. I’ve just prepared my filling as follows for anyone struggling for ideas.

1 whole red pepper cubed
4 spring onions
Handful of cherry tomatoes
One can of black beans drained and rinsed well.
Pinch of salt, pepper, garlic granules, chilli flakes for a little zing

Then added low fat mayonnaise until I got the desired consistency.

I couldn’t help but try some of the filling and it’s lovely. I’m on a weight loss diet and this is a filling meal. I’ve only had once before so had to come back and refresh the baking stages. ❤️

I followed instructions as is, and came out great ..
I did have to cook for longer though since the potatoe I used was on the larger side.

In reply to CF3.

Exactly right. I have been baking sweet potatoes for 40 years–directly on the oven rack with a sheet of foil spread out on the rack below (don’t put foil on the whole rack, just underneath where the potatoes are. Poke three holes only on the top, one on each end and in the middle. Bake at 425 degrees for 45-50 min, but depends on the size of the potatoes. Check smaller ones at 40 minutes. The drippings will land on the foil. If they start to burn, it means the potatoes are probably done! Also, if the drippings burn on the foil you can just pull it out of the oven easily and put a new piece in. I always check the potatoes every 15 minutes. It’s not that hard, and actually, as soon as you see juices bubbling out of the holes you poked, it won’t be long before the potatoes are done.

In reply to Sue C. Hi Sue, I've never had this happen, it sounds like your oven might not be evenly heating.
