Step 2
Let the sweet potatoes bake for about 1½ hours or until soft and caramelizing, then remove them from the oven, and let them cool down enough to hold them.
Step 3
Slash the top of each sweet potato right down the middle, then push the ends toward the center to open the pocket, and place a cube of butter inside each. Season them with salt and pepper, then serve immediately, and enjoy!
