If you haven't already cooked the sweet potato, pierce it several times with a fork and microwave on high for 5–7 minutes, turning once, until completely tender when pierced. Let it cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and mash with a fork until completely smooth — you need 1 cup of mash with no lumps.
