Notes

When shopping at the grocery store, the two most common sweet potatoes are orange and white. For instance, orange sweet potatoes with a bright orange interior are extremely sweet,
White sweet potatoes, on the other hand, have lighter, golden-colored skin and white flesh. The interior of a white sweet potato looks a lot like a starchy russet potato, while its shape and texture resemble that of a classic sweet potato.
