Stuffed to the Max
Start by prepping your sweet potatoes: Scrub the skins, dry them, then use a fork to puncture the potatoes all over to release steam while baking. Then bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees F or until tender.
In a hurry? Wash, dry and puncture the sweet potatoes, then microwave on high for 7-8 minutes or until tender. Once they're cooked, use a knife to slice into each potato lengthwise, using caution to not slice all the way through. Then push the two ends toward each other in order to force the sweet potato open to create a pocket.
