Microwave Sweet Potatoes

Hey everyone...
Does anyone know how to cook sweet potatoes in the microwave? I heard it was possible... Should I peel it first? How much time you figure I should cook it for?

Thanks guys...

Here in IA I can only find them in a can. I keep a few cans of vacuum packed sweet potatoes in my car along with some tuna and a can opener. When I run into a jam I'm good to go I don't even heat them up. When I have a microwave they only go for 2 mins. Fresh sweet potatoes I have no clue.

Poke holes in it with a fork and hit potatoe on the microwave or just 4 mins depending on the size.Take out let cool and add condiments of your choice

Thanks a lot... Tha holes are to prevent al-qaeda attacks in the microwave, right? I'll try that tomorrow, for lunch...

Oh and I just add light butter and cinnamon to mine some add brown sugar but us bodybuilders cant do that haha

Cinnamon and smart balance butter would be fine but brown sugar... no. I prefer plain personally.

I tried plain and cant hack it yet but Im slowly cutting everything out.Hell I just tried them for the first time ever last year and I fell in love!

Thanks for the tip Kaboom... I recently moved to a new ceity, and here it's like people never heard of sweet potatoes, so I can't find them in restaurants (where I tend to eat most of my meals during the week)... I'll just have to buy my wife a gas mask, because this sweet potatoes make me a butane tank... hehehe
