What is Sweet Potato?

Sweet potatoes are a root vegetable with an orange-brown skin and orange flesh. Botanically, sweet potatoes and potatoes are completely unrelated and not in the same family. The starchy and tuberous root of the sweet potato is hard when raw, but when cooked it becomes soft with a consistency similar to a baking potato, but more fibrous, softer and juicier. The skin is edible and thick. The flavor of the sweet potato flesh is sweet and earthy. This root can be used in dishes both savory and sweet.
