Mashed Sweet Potatoes In The Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the potato and prick several times with a fork. Place in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water; cover. Microwave for 2 minutes; turn over with tongs, and continue to microwave for 2 minutes more. Remove potato from the dish and place in a bowl of cold water until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Peel with a paring knife.
• Return potato to the baking dish with 1/4 cup water and microwave until soft, 4 to 5 minutes total, turning halfway through.
• Mash the hot potato with a hand masher or fork. Add orange juice and 1 teaspoon orange zest to the mashed potato; add yogurt and stir well.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake in a roasting pan for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender. Cut the potatoes in half, lengthwise. Hold the sweet potatoes with a potholder or towel and scoop out the potato flesh into a food mill or ricer.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, syrup, zest, and vinegar over medium heat. Remove from the heat and mash the sweet potatoes in the pan. Stir to combine evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
