My family loves this sweet potato recipe for the microwave, even my 2-year-old. It’s fast and easy and I don’t have to think about it much.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Directions
Step 1
Poke holes along each side of the sweet potato with a fork, at least 4 sets on each side.
Step 2
Microwave the potato on high for 8 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook in the microwave until tender, about 8 minutes more.
Step 3
Cut potato in half and remove soft potato flesh into a bowl with a spoon. Mash the potato with a fork and mix with cream cheese and butter.
Cook’s Notes:
Cook time can vary depending on microwave power and size of potato.
