Preparation Instructions

• Scrub the sweet potatoes well under running water and dry them with a towel. Remove any blemishes with a small knife.
• Make four or five pricks in each potato using a knife or fork to let steam escape while cooking.
• If you like, coat the potatoes with olive oil and season them with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Place the potatoes on a plate that is safe for the microwave. Cook them in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. If your microwave doesn’t turn, flip the potatoes after 2 minutes for even cooking.
• Check if the potatoes are tender by piercing them with a fork or knife. If they need more time, continue microwaving in 1-minute increments until they are soft. Carefully remove the plate using oven mitts.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then use a fork to fluff the insides.
