Sweet as a Potato
I can't imagine living without sweet potatoes. They provide the enjoyment of sweetness without the headache or the health complications. What more could you ask for from a vegetable?
Okay, while this is not really an elaborate sweet potatoes recipe, it is one of our go-to recipes at home. I avoid the microwave 90% of the time, but when it’s late and we need food for dinner, the microwave saves us!
About this recipe
One lovely thing about sweet potatoes is that they can be both sweet and savory on the menu. This recipe couldn't be easier, and is highly customizable.
Instructions
Here’s how we do it at home.
Poke a few holes in the sweet potato with a fork, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes. Allow it to cool for two to three additional minutes. Slice down the middle. Top with a pat of butter. Add a dash of cin- namon and you are free to enjoy! Top with pecans if you are feeling adventurous.
