Can you peel a sweet potato and then microwave it?
Q. If not, what is the best way to peel one after it's been microwaved? Looking for a fast sweet potato side dish that does not involve a lot of sugar or marshmallows. Thanks!

A. We just poke holes in them and bake them whole, like regular potatoes. Then "fluff" them up and put butter in them. Or, you can take them out of the shell after they're baked and mash them with butter & salt (a little brown sugar, if you want too)

A. I always salt my water and add a couple of drops of vegetable oil to it. Let them get cold before you try to peel. Don't peel them while warm.
