Baked sweet potatoes are a delightful dessert. Sweet potatoes can be baked whole, or sliced, with lots of butter and brown sugar. Another option is to slice and bake them as chips. They do take a while to bake to fully done. Baking softens them so they are easier to slice and eat. Growing sweet potatoes is easy. Sweet potatoes continue to grow after a partial harvest, as long as part of the vine is still rooted to the ground.
