If you are big on sweet potatoes but short on time, there's an easy solution: Microwave your sweet potatoes. It's really the best way. Microwaving sweet potatoes cuts down cook time by 45-55 minutes, and helps maintain nutritional value.

Baking a sweet potato in the microwave preserves far more nutrients (folate, vitamins A and C) than boiling it, for example. To learn how to microwave a sweet potato, read on.
How to Microwave Sweet Potatoes

Below are instructions on how to steam sweet potatoes in the microwave. (Don't bother covering your potato in plastic wrap or with a towel, as the sweet potato comes in its own jacket-its skin!)
