Best Answer

Sweet potatoes should not turn black when baking. If you have black spots on the skin (if unpeeled) then you are baking at too high a temperature. To make certain the potatoes are fully cooked, you can boil them first, then wrap them in foil, and bake at 350°F.

If they are peeled and turning black, you are still baking at too high a temperature. Try covering the dish with foil, and never bake potatoes over 350°F. Again, boiling them first will help ensure full cooking.
