Do you know why? Because you can bake sweet potatoes. I don't know if my current friends have such experience. Baked sweet potato with local method. It's really fun and interesting. First, take some big mud in the field, and then build the mud into a kiln. Then put the firewood in to make the mud red. Then put the sweet potato in. Use the stick to knock down the red mud and bury the sweet potato in it. Then wait for 40 minutes or so to remove the mud. You can eat the fragrant and hot baked sweet potato. Although the outer skin will be a little burnt black, it is sweet and soft waxy inside after peeling. People want to eat it.
