microwave sweet potatoes
Who has time to candy and bake and peel sweet potatoes! After my niece brought half cooked sweet potatoes to a family dinner, I learned this trick! You can nuke them and they taste just a well as if you cooked them for an hour and a half. Salvaged them and now this is the way Thanksgiving goes in the microwave.
