Kitchen Secrets
To easily cook the sweet potato, pierce with a fork and place on microwavable paper towel. Microwave on High 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. When cooled enough to handle, slit potato skin and peel away from flesh; mash flesh with fork. Cool to room temperature.Nutritional Information
