I needed a quick side dish and just threw these in the microwave.  In. Out. Done.

Super-Speedy Sweet Potatoes

from I Can't Believe It's Not Fattening!


2 medium sweet potatoes (around 6 oz or one 12 oz potato cut in half), scrubbed
1 tsp light butter (I used Smart Balance Light)
2 - 4 tsp brown sugar

Using a fork, poke each potato several times on each side.  Plae all the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish.  Cover the dish loosely with a paper towel.  Microwave for 3 minutes.  Flip the taters (they are hot!), and continue to zap them 2-3 minutes at a time until they are tender.

Cut them down the middle, add the butter and some brown sugar.  Return to the microwave and cook another 30 seconds until the butter and sugar are melted.  If desired, mash the butter and sugar mixture into the cooked potato and serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings.  One 6 oz potato has 162 calories.
