Method

Wash, then prick the skins several times with a fork.
Rub a little olive oil over each potato and stand on some kitchen paper on the microwave turntable. 1 x 175g sweet potato will take 4-5 minutes on high (900W); 2 x 175g sweet potatoes will take 6-7 minutes on high (900W); 3 x 175g sweet potatoes will take 12-14 minutes on high (900W).

Quick wins, tips & make ahead

Cook on combination (microwave/fan), if you can, for a crispier skin. Try filling the sweet potatoes with garlic cheese, such as Boursin, and top with rocket.
