Notes

  • Cut slits into your sweet potato and microwave for about 1 minute to make it easier to chop up.  Note that your cook time in the skillet will be less as well since the sweet potato will be partially cooked by the microwaving process.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 3-5 days.
