    "Bake" them in the microwave. Wash them, poke a few holes in the tater, put it in a paper bag (I use the lunch bag size) and throw it in the microwave for about 7 - 8 minutes. Test the tater for softness and bake additional minute as needed. Tastes just like an oven baked sweet potato in a fraction of the time.. Put your favorite topping - honey and butter substitute is a winner!

    Great to do with regular bakers as well.

    If you need to add anything to your sweet potato, your buying bad taters!

    A regional favorite in SW Ohio, popularized by the dinner theatre in Springboro.
