Notes

To Cook the Sweet Potato: 
  • Boil the Sweet Potato: Cut the sweet potato into 1 inch cubes and boil them for 12-15 minutes until tender.  Make sure they are tender enough to pierce with a fork.  You'll need about 2 medium sweet potatoes.
  • Cook in the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender for about 30 minutes.
  • Cook in the Microwave: Pierce the sweet potato with a fork several times.  Microwave for 5-10 minutes, depending on the size of the sweet potato.  Flip halfway through the cooking.  Cook until fork tender.
  • Use Canned: You can use canned sweet potatoes has a shortcut but make sure they aren't sweetened.
 
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
