Roast it, simply wash it and put it on the oven rack (we put a small
piece of Al foil on the oven floor underneath in case there are some
sugar drips). 350 for more than an hour depending on size. It will be
much softer to the touch than a regular potato when done. The natural
sugars will caramelize into a nice layer on the bottom. Remove, peel,
eat. The roasting brings out great tasting natural flavors.
