[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just use a fork, pierce lightly all over (def not all the way through), wrap in a paper towel and microwave for about 5 minutes.

Older sweet potatoes will sometimes be dried out in the middle.

Do you mean you wrap it in a wet paper towel?

And you've never found that the inside will be raw if you don't pierce through the middle?  I'm trying to figure out why the inside is a bit raw for me sometimes. The edges will sometimes be shriveled so it seems unlikely that I didn't leave it long enough, but maybe that's it. Do your outsides look a bit shriveled when it's cooked?[/quote]

Not a wet towel. If it's raw then cook it for another minute or two a minute at a time. Sweet potatoes can be pretty different sizes so you have to adjust the time. Yes the skin can shrivel but who cares if you aren't eating it. I either split them and eat the flesh, or scoop out and mach the flesh.

My college age son has mastered sweet potatoes so they really aren't difficult.[/quote]
