Potatoes, sweet are often thought of as being used to make candied ones for Thanksgiving or some other holiday, but they are also great baked. See more about them below.
Potatoes, Sweet
About Sweet Potatoes:
Sweet potatoes have either a dry light yellow or moist deep yellow or orange flesh. The darker colored sweet potatoes are sometimes called yams, which is a misnomer, as true yams are grown only in the tropics. We enjoy sweet potatoes baked, in roasted vegetable dishes, and in curries. Select potatoes that are firm and free of mold spots. A 100 gram (3-1/2 oz.) serving of sweet potatoes has over twice the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin A. See nutritional chart below.
