If you need to cook one in a hurry you can use a microwave...... just make sure you poke lots of little holes in it otherwise it will explode. I forget how long I usually put mine in for, but I think it is under 2 minutes and it cooks it completely

I wrap mine in wet paper towels and poke holes into the skin and throw it in the microwave for about 7-9mins depending on size. Or you can get those microwaveable shrink wrapped potatoes that take 7 minutes. Their "regular" potatoes are d*mn good that way. I just eat them with the skin still on, something I would never do if I bought a bag and baked myself. They claim to have washed them over and over and over which must be why the skin tastes so darn sexy.

The way I eat mine is with a little bit of splenda, cinnamon, fat free butter spray, and sugar free syrup. Now thats a d*mn good sweet potato!!
