Wash and prick potatoes. Gently scrub the tubers off under cold, running water. Poke each potato 4-5 times with a sharp fork or knife, then place on a baking dish.

• You can pour olive oil or vegetable oil over the potato if you like. Rub olive oil evenly over the skin.
• With the Paleo or clean eating diet, you can use coconut oil on the peels.

Enjoy. Remove the potatoes from the baking pan and use a knife to split the potato in half. Serve the baked yam with a little butter.

Method 2 of 4: Grilled yams or sweet potatoes in cubes

1. 

   
   
   Peel and cut potatoes. Select 4 yams, peel them and cut into small cubes about 1 inch on each side. Spread the potato pieces on a baking tray.
   • Another way is to wash the sweet potato, leave the skin on, and cut into slices of any width. Sweet potato peels provide additional nutrients and aid in digestion, but you must wash them thoroughly if you want to eat the skin.

2. 

   Flavoring. First, pour olive oil over the potatoes. If you don't want to use oil, you can spread the butter on the potatoes. Decide if you are going to make a sweet potato, a savory, or a combination of the two.
   • For a sweeter treat, you can sprinkle honey, sprinkle with cinnamon powder and nutmeg over pieces, or replace it with brown or white sugar.
   • For a sweet, spicy potato dish, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.

3. 

   
   
   Wash and cut potatoes. Since the tubers still have the skin, you will need to wash them thoroughly. Cut potatoes into thin slices.
   • If you prefer a triangular slice instead of a stick, you can cut the potato into 8 parts.

4. 

   Flavoring. Place the potatoes in a large bowl or plastic bag. Stir the potatoes with salt, pepper and olive oil.
   • You can also add other spices to the potatoes. Try garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, curry, or a combination of salt with any seasoning.
   • To make baked potatoes for the Paleo or clean eating diet, replace olive oil with coconut oil.

5. 

   
   
   Put the potatoes in a baking tray. Spread the potatoes on a baking tray. Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping at least once during baking. Depending on the type of oven, the baking time may be faster or longer. Bake until potatoes are crispy and golden.
   • Do not stack the potatoes too closely together or stack them too high to make them crispy.

Method 4 of 4: Bake yams or sweet potatoes in the microwave

1. 

   Flavoring. If you want to add seasoning, season it before you microwave it. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of the selected oil.
   • For a sweeter potato, you can add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, white sugar or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice or cinnamon powder and nutmeg.
   • If you want a sweet potato to taste, add salt and pepper.

2. 

   Microwave on high power. Cover or wrap the food wrap on the potato plate. Microwave for 10 minutes. Check the softness of the potatoes after 5 minutes of baking. Continue baking for 2 minutes each time until sweet potatoes.
   • If you roast whole potatoes, turn it over once when it's done half the time. If you roast the potatoes, shake the plate to spread them evenly.
