we love to eat baked sweet potatoes. we switched from cooking them in our kitchen oven to an wood-fired pizza oven that gets over 700 degrees, and they taste much sweeter . we don't what happens exactly but it does taste like the really high heat does somrthing to the natural sugars in the potatoes.

Oh yes, that is an excellent point to bring up. Sweet potatoes are meant to be roasted. You should try this recipe out, it enhances their sweetness and the texture is divine. https://abrowntable.com/home/the-flavor-equation-baked-sweet-potatoes-with-maple-crme-frache
There's some research done on how sweet potatoes develop flavor and roasting them is the only method that creates at least 11 new flavor molecules.
