Jtandi Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 ok, I know this seems silly, but I think I've always thought yams were sweet potatoes. I went to the store today and saw "sweet potatoes" but they are lighter in color, the inside looks almost like a regular potato. am I crazy? are these really sweet potatoes? (and yes, I feel silly asking this question) I don't want to eat them unless they are ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 So not a silly question. Both are fine and I think it depends where you are from. Here in Oregon, sweet potatoes are the deep colored sweet ones and yams are light colored and starchy (to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
