So, I just got back from the grocery store, and have another question.

The russet potatoes I buy generally weigh about 1 pound, and I get two meals out of each potato. I slice it lengthwise after cooking, put one half on the plate and the other half in the fridge. Topped with shredded cheddar, each half is a main course for me.

Anyway, I cook the ~1 pound potato for 7.5 minutes.

Tonight most of the sweet potatoes in the store were smaller. I found one that weighed just under a pound, and bought two others that weighed about .5 pounds each.

So, for cooking time, 6 minutes for the larger one and 3-4 for each smaller one? There would only be one in the microwave at a time.

(I will not be topping them with cheddar -- I'm going to try both vanilla yogurt and cream cheese, to see which I prefer, plus I have some cinnamon, walnuts and raisins to sprinkle on top. I want to go with something on the sweet side, but not too sweet.)
