Steps
Tap an underlined word for a quick explanation.
Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and rub them with the oil and of the salt.
Pinch. A pinch is what you can hold between your thumb and two fingers, less than an eighth of a teaspoon. It’s a small, forgiving amount, so there’s no need to measure.
How you’ll know: It’s a light sprinkle you can barely see on the food, not a little pile.
Air fry at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes, turning once, until a knife slides into the center with no resistance.
Timer: 40 min
Dolly’s tip: Bigger potatoes take longer. Squeeze one with an oven mitt: soft all the way through means done.Mix the tuna with the yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, celery, most of the green onions, the pepper and the rest of the salt.
Food safety: Rotisserie chicken, deli meat, canned tuna and cooked shrimp are already cooked. Keep them cold until you use them, and heat them until steaming hot if the recipe warms them.
Split the potatoes open and fluff the insides with a fork.
Lengthwise. Lengthwise means cutting along the long side, from stem to tip, which gives long pieces. Crosswise is the other way, straight across the middle, which gives short, round ones.
How you’ll know: Lengthwise halves of a zucchini look like two little canoes; crosswise pieces look like coins.
Pile the tuna into the potatoes and top with the rest of the green onions and the everything bagel seasoning.
