Baked sweet potatoes

[GLC1968]

I've never cooked a baked potato in the microwave, but I do cook sweet potatoes and white potatoes side by side all the time in the regular oven. My H only likes sweet potatoes so it's a common thing in our house. He likes them really, really mushy, so they take the same amount of time to cook. If you don't like them so soft, I'd agree that they cook slightly faster than the same sized white potato.

I haven't cooked a potato in the oven since 1980...
I exclusively eat sweet potatoes and they are quicker to cook. Sometimes I pre-cook about 3/4 way in the microwave and then cut up and stir fry in olive oil. Delicious.
