No, use a knife or vegetable peeler to remove the skin. You should then cut the potato(es) into uniform pieces (usually about an inch) so that they cook evenly. Drain when they're fork tender. Sweet potatoes takes longer to cook than regular potatoes. You can also par-boil them before baking them as "candied yams", or just bake them in their skins for a tasty baked treat.

How long do you boil potatoes?
When I make sweet potato pie I bake the potatoes for 45 to 55 minutes. Or until soft on the inside. Soft enough to pierce with a fork. Or you can boil them for 15 to 20 minutes. Just do as you do with regular potatoes. Boil until you can pierce with a fork and it's soft enough to fall apart. But not too soft to be really mushy.
