To "bake" a sweet potato in a microwave is simple to do but the timing depends on the size of the potato and the power of the microwave. For average measures on both these, try about 8 minutes on high. Let it sit for about 10 minutes afterwards, as it will continue to cook.

∙ 16y agoDo you have a 600 watt MV or 1200 watt? Six minutes maybe if you are going to slice and fry it. Depends on the size too. Best nuke it and check it with a fork after the first cooking and go on high for a minute several more times until you get it to your hearts desire. Rememember or write down the size and the total time needed to cook for later reference.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the size of the potato. I would cut a criss cross on the top and microwave it for about 10 minutes give or take depending on the size. You can also put it in a small bowl of water to speed things up. The steam will allow it to cook quicker. You do lose many of the vitamns and minerals when microwaving though.

Yes! It is possible to cook a sweet potato in the microwave. I have not conducted this experiment though i know that it is possible though the results may not be suitable for eating since if you take a sweet potato and plop it in the microwave whole, there is a large chance the outside wil get burnt and the inside cold or slightly warm. � you are welcome :) Although its possible, its not advised since microwaves can destroy vitamins and minerals.
