I wrote an earlier post about baking sweet potatoes when you had a craving for something sweet. Now I'm going to advice steaming your sweat potato versus baking it and steaming it with the skin. The skin is a great source of fiber and other nutrients such as vitamin A, you don't want to get rid of that.
When you bake any potato the glycemic index increases, which means the sugar content will increase (it will spike up your blood glucose more quickly after consumption).
Another tip: eat your potato cold. Cooling your sweet potato or storing them in the fridge for a later snack is a better alternative. This further decreases the glycemic index causing a less spike on your blood glucose (blood sugar).
