Best tips

Pierce the potatoes

We recommend piercing the potatoes with a fork or knife.

All you need to do is to melt the butter in a pan, on medium heat, and stir.

We strongly recommend baking sweet potatoes. If you bake the potatoes, they will be caramelized and you will end up with a much more flavorful dish.
