Mark, I just baked one last week along with a pork roast. Scrubbed,
pricked, and baked for about an hour and something, I think, at 325. I
halved it lengthwise and ate it like a regular baked spud -- no sour
cream, but I just scooped the flesh from the shell. It didn't need any
sweetening, but I've been known to add a little brown sugar and butter
to te peeled and boiled sweet that's been cooked stovetop. Texas
Roadhouse Grill (?) restaurant chain serves them with cinnamon in the
brown sugar. Could be worse.
