Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Microwave Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
Step 1
Begin by using a fork to poke several holes in the sweet potato, ensuring you create at least four sets of holes on each side.
Step 2
This step is crucial as it allows steam to escape during cooking.
Step 3
Next, place the sweet potato in the microwave and cook it on high for 8 minutes.
Step 4
After this initial cooking time, carefully flip the potato over and continue microwaving for another 8 minutes, or until it feels tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Once the sweet potato is fully cooked, slice it in half lengthwise and scoop the soft, creamy flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving the skin behind.
Step 6
Using a fork, mash the sweet potato until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 7
Then, blend in softened cream cheese and salted butter, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
Step 8
Serve this delightful dish warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors of your perfectly prepared sweet potato.
