Today I investigated the difference between sweet potatoes, yams, and sweet yam potatoes. My research was based on produce from No Frills, Safeway and a Denman Street greengrocer, respectively. Conclusion: sweet potatoes taste the best. Sweet, dense, potatoey (who knew) and rich in Umami. Yams are more squashlike, with a stringier texture, and not quite as sweet. Sweet yam potatoes have a sweet potato consistency, but an orange yam colour. Did you guys already know all of this? There is so much to learn about the world of root vegetables.
