I will go to several stores if i have to, with in a few square blocks,
to find small sweet potatoes, the red skinned, orange fleshed "sweet
potato" i don't think they are particularly better tasting than larger
examples of the same thing, but rather that they cook so much more quickly.

Toss 4 or 5 in the oven for 10 minutes and they let you know when they
are done. After about 10 minutes of cooking the house is suddenly
suffused with their aroma, quite distinct, i have been as far away from
the kitchen as it is possible to get, chez soi, and noticed it.
