I place mine directly on the rack above the foil. Place foil or foil wrapped pan on the rack below the rack the sweet potatoes are on. That will help slow the drippings from reaching foil and burning. Poke holes only on one side and place that side facing up in the oven. They are required for white, baking potatoes. You only need enough to allow the potato to release pressure from inside of itself but honestly poking holes aren’t necessary on sweet potatoes, as the skins usually have natural ventilation. You really only need to poke with a fork at each end and 1 on top. Here are a few pointers to help you avoid this…1.

BAKED SWEET POTATO SKIN
In order to get delectable, puffed up crispy skin and caramelization on the outside of each baked potato, place them onto the baking sheet bare!

Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the skin has puffed up and you can easily pierce them with a fork.Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potatoes, and set them on the baking sheet.Preheat the oven to 425☏ and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.Turns out, I love sweet potatoes, but I have to prepare them the right way!
