Because, the outside is a THIN layer of \\"skin\\" that after cooked can peel away from the much THICKER \\"meat\\" of the potato. Also because, the inside is well... inside of the potato, stored away from the heat while the outside heats up first.

Probably to help the potato cook faster because of the heat conduction capacity of the nail. Though I would think an iron nail would rust inside the potato. I have aluminum nails that are designed for this.

Iron conducts heat better than other metals so it heats up the potato faster.
Why does a metal screw make a potato Cook faster?
the metal spikes are conductors so the heat travels through them and because the spikes are in the middle of the potatoes, the heat travels to the middle of them and helps the potatoes heat up.Metal is a conductor of heat, the spikes will bring the heat to the center of the potato and cook faster than if they were not spiked.
When broiling frozen meats why should you place the meat farther away from the heat source than you would place thawed meats?
Since it is frozen, the outside will defrost faster than the inside causing the outside to cook faster. If you move it further back, you will prevent it from having a charred outside and a raw inside.
