All About White Sweet Potatoes

There are hundreds of varieties of sweet potatoes. Two of the most common are orange and white! White sweet potatoes have lighter, golden-colored skin and white flesh that looks like a starchy russet. Unlike their orange counterparts, white sweet potatoes have a drier texture, white flesh, a mild flavor, and a subtle nutty undertone. These potatoes can be roasted, baked, grilled, or mashed just like orange sweet potatoes—the main difference is in the flavor. So if you want all the health benefits of sweet potatoes without the super-sweet flavor, try a white sweet potato!
