Ingredients
1
medium
sweet potato
⅛
teaspoon
salt
if desired, more if necessary
1
tablespoon
butter
if desired, more if necessary
Instructions
Wash the sweet potato and prick holes in the skin with a fork.
Wrap the potato in plastic wrap.
Microwave 2 to 3 minutes then turn over and microwave another 2 to 3 minutes.
Squeeze potato, it should be soft. Allow to sit, unwrapped, for 8 minutes.
I like to roll it a few times on the counter before cutting into the potato to fluff it before cutting and adding toppings.
