Notes

There are so many ways to cook sweet potatoes. Here are just a few ways to get perfectly cooked potatoes.

Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes come out perfect every time.
Pierce the potatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes to one hour or until soft.
Peel the potatoes and place them in a pot of boiling water for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender.
Pierce the potatoes and place them in the microwave. Microwave them for 2-3 minutes at a time. Check the potatoes for doneness and add another 2-3 minutes until they are soft and cooked through.
