I had never thought about using a sweet potato for salt extraction, but I always use a white potato. I think the sweet potato would flavor the foods whereas a white potato would absorb the flavor with the salt. An added note - don't leave the potato cooking until it completely cooks and gets soft or it will re-salt the food.
