Answer 3

From some cooking site*:
you should brush the potato with vegetable oil (don't know if necessary), then get the oven temp. to 450 and bake for 35 -45 min.

How you make sure that the potato is cooked and not all hard and just basically hard, you use a fork or toothpick to test it. Once it is soft you make a little more holes to let the steam out.
Add whatever seasoning you like and enjoy.

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay
Show: Boy Meets Grill
Episode: Steakhouse Dinner

Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo, pureed
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup maple syrup, plus 2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, being careful not to damage the skin. Rice the flesh in a ricer set over a bowl.

Bring the heavy cream and chipotle puree to a simmer over low heat in a small saucepan. Stir the warm cream, butter, creme fraiche and 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into the sweet potato mixture until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray. Fill each of the skins with the cream mixture, place back on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Remove the potatoes to a platter and drizzle the tops of each with the remaining maple syrup.
