Instructions
- Wash your sweet potatoes well.
- Using a fork poke tons of holes in it – about 20-30 times all over your sweet potato.
- Place your sweet potato on a microwave safe plate.
- Microwave for 8-10 minutes. After 8 minutes check to see how soft they are. You want them to be smushy like.
- Remove from the microwave carefully when done. They will be HOT but you will know when they are done when they are smushy.
- Let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Then cut them open horizontally. Using your fingers squeeze the sides a bit to push it off the skin a bit and push the insides a little.
- Stick a few thin slices of butter on top.
- If you are wanting to blow the flavor out of the water our favorite thing to do is drizzle maple syrup and sprinkle some cinnamon on top and mix it into the sweet potato! Oh so good!
