one major thing that helps w/texture and final product relative to crispiness is to NOT peel the potatoes as the recipe states...who knows if this is what she actually did on the show this is from as often times I find variations with these printed recipes on food network from what the chefs actually did as well as quantities of ingredients, etc...another thing that helps as another viewer referenced is to pre-heat the pan prior to placing potatoes on it to cook as well as finishing for 5 minutes or so in the end under broiler portion of oven...another things that helps w/texture is to not have them on the long side, cutting them to where they are shorter, say 2-3" helps tremdously w/final texture.

I have baked it this morning. It's so yummy and crispy. This is the second time I baked it. The first time is not crispy but delicous. I sprinkle two sides of the sweet potato with sugar, and let it completely cool down. It was so good and crispy. I am so happy to share that I have baked it successfully.
