Recipe Notes
If you are low on time, sweet potatoes in particular can be quickly cooked in the microwave. Make sure to stab the exterior all around with a fork and then cook for ~5 minutes. You will know it is done when it can be easily stabbed with a fork. It will be very hot straight out of the microwave. Let cool for a few minutes before handling. It should peel very easily out of its skin.
