Wash and dry the sweet potato. Don't peel it. Pierce it in a few places with a fork.

Place the potato on a paper towel and microwave it on high for 3 minutes. Turn it over and microwave for 2 more minutes or until fork-tender (see the Notes section below).

Be careful when removing the potato from the microwave - it will be hot. Allow it to rest for 2 minutes, then cut it in half.

If desired, sprinkle it with kosher salt and top it with butter. Serve immediately.
