Hands-on time: 1 minute
Time to table: 10 minutes for an 850 watt microwave
Makes 1 sweet potato
1 sweet potato
Wash well but don't peel. Prick skin with tip of knife two or three places. Place on a paper towel in microwave. (I also put a paper towel loosely over top, just in case, but no explosions so far!) Cook on high for 5 minutes. Turn, placing what HAD been on the bottom on top. Cook another 5 minutes. (Microwave strengths vary, experiment with yours til you know.)
Vegetable Love says 13 - 15 minutes for 2 one-pound sweet potatoes.

SHORTHAND RECIPE MICROWAVE SWEET POTATO Wash, prick, 5min, turn, 5min. WW3
Preparation
Wash sweet potatoes well. Cook them whole whenever possible as most of the nutrients are next to the skin, and skins are easier to remove after they have been cooked. Pierce skin with fork. Place potatoes in a pan and cook in an oven heated to 375° F for about 45 minutes or until tender. Cool potatoes slightly before removing skins. Sweet potatoes can be cooked in a microwave oven to save time. Wash and pierce potatoes, then place them on a paper towel. The cooking time for 2 medium potatoes is on high for 5–9 minutes, and 4 potatoes, 10–13 minutes. Yellow and dark orange sweet potatoes can be used interchangeably in recipes. Try not to mix the two types in a single dish, because their different textures and cooking times may affect the outcome of the recipe. The yellow variety takes longer to cook than the orange and will be done at the upper range of cooking time
