Sonniek 2 Posted February 9, 2017 My husband and I don't care for sweet potato. I've tried cooking them in several different ways and still don't like them. What else can I use in place of them in recipes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShannonM816 5530 Posted February 9, 2017 It'll depend on the recipe, really. White potatoes, winter squashes like butternut or acorn squash, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga all have some similar characteristics, but if there's a specific recipe you're looking at, let us know and maybe we can be a little more specific.

kruddock 200 Posted February 10, 2017 Have you only tried orange sweet potatoes? I can't stand them, but I love white sweet potatoes they are not nearly as sweet which is what I can't stand about the orange ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, do try the Koimo or Korean type sweet potatoes - shape is similar to the standard sweet potatoes but they have red skin on the outside, white flesh on the inside, WAY different taste and texture when baked.
