Notes: *TO PAR_COOK*
To par-cook, a sweet potato, cut it in half lengthwise and place it in a shallow microwave dish, cut side down. Pour 1/4 c. water in the dish, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and poke several holes in the top of plastic wrap to allow steam to escape. Microwave for 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of the potato, or until sweet potato is tender, but not fully cooked.
