If you're in a hurry, sweet potatoes microwave pretty well. I turn them
over and around every few minutes for about 12 minutes, then wrap them in
foil for about five minutes. Of course, the skins aren't crisp and timing
depends on the size of the potato.

I like the sound of your "steak fries", Louis. I must try them soon.
