Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. You want the cheese to be melted and bubbly. After that, let them cool briefly.

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Clean the sweet potatoes under running water and pat dry. Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
