Nothings better with Steak than a sweet potato!

I love sweet potato - especially orientals (don't even think of microwaving - pan frying ok), I'm going to make this for brunch, stuffed with leftover chili - I'm "no sos" vegan, and I didn't want to wait for a baked! Thanks so much for the recipe - maybe I'll have the other half for lunch or breakfast tomorrow with either date sugar or maple syrup (both?)

You need to understand both the power of the microwave and also the size. Please be more detailed. and also use some science when advising on how to cook a well speared sweet potato. It takes forever. Just bake it.. Thanks.

Just cut the sweet potato in half so the whole potato can be cook thoroughly.

We Southerners eat sweet potatos with lots of butter and brown sugar. Any other way is a distant second place!

Thank you Lena Abraham for the helpful cooking tip.

I’m pretty young so when my mom don’t wanna cook a sweet potato for me, this the way I could do it 😙

Thanks for the lesson!  Always wondered what the heck a yam was.

Please stop with the floating camera.  I’m getting motion sick.

Here's how to microwave a sweet potato: the right way! Cook it with this method and it comes out perfectly moist every time.

Perfect Microwave Sweet Potato

potato

Prick and wrap in wet paper towel

Rinse the potato, removing any attached tendrils. Prick it all over with a fork and wrap it in a wet paper towel.

Cook, flip, then cook again

Microwave on High power using the following chart for timing, making sure to flip and continue cooking on the second side:

Medium (9 to 12 ounces, 2″ thick)

Large (13 to 16 ounces, 3″ thick)

Extra Large (1 ¼ pound, 3″ thick)

Two potatoes

Double the cook time; start checking a few minutes before to assess doneness

Assess doneness and continue if necessary

Prick both sides to assess doneness, taking care because it is hot. If the fork goes in all the way with no give, it is done. Otherwise, continue cooking at 1 minute intervals until tender. 

I made the sweet potato tonight and followed the recipe and had the best sweet potato 🍠 ever!

Delicious, sweet, hearty and even good for you baked sweet potato made in the microwave in MINUTES!

Water

Wash the sweet potato well and remove any dirt.

Prick the skin of the sweet potato with the tines of a fork on all sides of the potato.

Dampen a papertowel with water and squeeze out any extra water.

Wrap the paper towel around the potato.

Microwave for 5 minutes.

Turn the potato over.

Microwave on the other side for another 1-3 minutes.

The potato is done when you can squeeze the potato and it feels soft and when the tines of a fork glide easily into the potato all the way to the center without meeting resistance.
