Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings 2 medium sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt Directions Wash sweet potatoes and prick several times all over with a fork. Place in a microwave on top of a paper towel and cover with another paper towel. Cook on high for 5 minutes (may need more depending on strength of microwave and thickness of potato). Turn the potatoes over and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove potatoes and test for softness. If not soft, cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil and allow to cool, 1 to 2 minutes. Slice them open and add butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Mash the soft flesh with a fork. Cook’s Note Baked potatoes are much better and deliver a much sweeter potato, in my honest opinion. But, they need at least an hour to cook. A well-cooked potato's flesh should come away easily from the skin.You can use maple syrup instead of honey.
