| actually, the sweet potatoe is SWEETER! i make both every year because some prefer the Sweeter potato, others prefer the more bland one. However, YOU CAN add brown sugar to the Yams, the do sweeten them, but still, the sweet potato has a different kind of sweetness to them.

| you are correct. the sweet potato is healthier, Because the sugar is in them, NATURALLY, where in the yams, you tend to Add sugar, becasue it is not as sweet.

| I've had both, and I prefer sweet potatoes over yams. Yams aren't as sweet, they're actually a little bland. You have to add brown sugar to them in order to sweeten them up. I think the texture is a little different too. They are more orange in color. Sweet potatoes are sweeter naturally, so they are better for you. You don't have to add brown sugar to them, unless you want to add a little with some butter and cinnamon....yum! Sweet potatoes are darker in color.

| OK, now who was bored and sitting around and said, "I think I'll search for "yams" on YT and see what I can find..." and managed to dig up this thread. I opened it thinking to myself, "I don't remember talking about yams and taters with anybody this weekend..." |

| Rofl! I bought one of each this thanksgiving .. a Yam and a Sweet Potato, so once and for all I will know what to call which. I like the deep Orange ones. One was yellow and had no flavor. I wanted to chuck it over the fence. NOW... I've forgotten which is which once again!!! DAG NABBIT! |
