WessB,
We raised our own sweet potatoes on the farm back in another life. We stored them in a hay loft of the barn and sprinkled white lime powder over them to keep them from sprouting. They would keep that way for months. My grandmother baked them almost daily in a wood burning stove that was always hot. I would guess about 400° to 500°. She just stuck them in the oven in a pan. No oil or salt or pepper. When she took them out they would be sitting in a pool of dark brown sugar that cooked out of them. The shells would be dry and separated from the meat.

We made our own butter too so we added butter and that was it. Better than homemade ice cream.

Later in the day we could grab up a cold sweet tater and take it with us to eat later. Hot or cold, they were like desert.

Now you've got me want'n some sweet tater.
