How to bake the perfect Japanese sweet potato // Yakiimo Recipe 

Literally the world's most exquisite delicious sweet potatoes are the Japanese Sweet Potato!!! They are so deliciously fulfilling and very sweet! I eat these and am satisfied for the rest of the day without wanting to eat junk food or more excessive foods throughout the day. It's incredible! One of my favorite foods in the world!!🤌😋

I love Japanese sweet potatoes. My favourite way to cook them, is to wash them first, then coat in a healthy oil that has a high "smoke point", so it does not smoke at the temperature cooked, sprinkle a little salt on them, then air fry them for 40 minutes +/- based on the size of the potatoe. I think my air fryer function on my microwave is at 425, but it does not indicate the temperature. I also instead, bake them in the oven at 425 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. :)

Thank you for this friend ❤ I’ve never had Japanese sweet potato 🍠 before I got curious and bought one last time I went to my local Asian grocery for some lemon grass. I’m very excited and I have mine currently in the oven 🫶🏼

Trying this tonight with baked fish! TY

If you don’t poke potatoes, they will steam them selves internally. The reason why the one you wrapped in foil was more moist just because the steam didn’t get released but stayed inside of the foil jacket instead of filling the inside of the pot. Thanks for the video. I recently found two Japanese potatoes and I wanted to cook them properly. I’m Living in very rural white USA. Where at least 1/3 of the people don’t eat rice. Are annoyed that sweet potatoes come in two colors. And think that there is only two kind s of potatoes. That being one kind of white with two different types. One type of sweet or two different types. And then your fancy making a dinner for the in-laws or date night: three color baby/yellow potatoes. This is my favorite kind of potato, so I’m excited to cook it.❤

Is it ok to cook in tin foil as the leeching through to the food is toxic/ poisonous?

💛...i've always done unwrapped, in the oven...even then, i'd get unequal results, mostly from size and shape differences of different varieties or even within same variety...just add butter and it's all good...

Can you find Japanese sweet potato in America?

With the foil method, you were able to enclose it's own moisture as much as possible than non foil.

I use the microwave for like 3 min and its fine. Just poke holes... Maybe not as tasty as yours though.

I do not want to be mean… but the oven and the Instant pot were 🤢🤮, Lady …clean it before you Star to Cook and make a video… PLEASE!, the recipies are good so, thank you!🫤
