1. Sweet potato or yam? And why?

  2. What's your favorite variety and why?

  3. How do you cook/prepare them?

    I'm trying to give up potato chips so I plan on eating more sweet potatoes.

    1. I like sweet potatoes because they are sweeter.

    2. I'm going to do a test test this week. I'm cooking a white sweet potato right now.

    3. I wrap it in aluminum foil and bake for 70m at 400 F. I remove the skin and rice it. I add butter, olive oil and smoked paprika.

    You know I don't think I have ever eaten a yam. Is it similar to sweet potato?

      Yeah, yams are sweeter and more inclined towards those marshmallow laden casseroles. Basically the only difference is how much sugar/syrup you use for some recipes.

      I sometimes like making sweet potatoes into succotash, but fries are also solid.

        marshmallow laden casseroles

        I am constantly flabbergasted that Americans can point at British food and say it is shit when they do stuff like this.
