I think those of us (including me) who have been nuking sweet potatoes have been lucky from what I've read on the web. It has happened and has occurred more than once. As I said, not one report I saw was caused by cooking a whole potato or even a mashed potato, every fire mentioned was either diced, sliced or chopped.
Just because you've been doing it for years and nothing has happened, doesn't mean it can't or won't. I can remember getting pneumonia in my early 40's. I felt miserable but actually told the doctor, "But I've never had pneumonia!" His reply, "So, that means you can't have it now?" Same principle here.
