Yes, you can bake them, pierce them with a fork and bake at 400 degrees for one hour, peel and serve the way you like them
I use butter (organic if you want) a little cinnamon and cloves

Absolutely best way to cook a sweet potato is to roast/bake one in the oven. The heat makes the sugar carmelize a bit and the skin sometimes pops. When it's done and you split it open, it's amazing - the smell and taste. add a little butter and maybe a dash of cinammon and you're in heaven.
you mash it up then you put in the oven for about 20 minutes, then you stir it and you can put marshmallows on it.
