Sweet potatoes can be cooked in the same way as ordinary potatoes, namely mashes, baked, boiled, roasted or made into chips. They can also be used in some sweet dessert recipes however.
Raw sweet potatoes can have a perfumy taste due to the presence of certain volatile compounds, such as esters and terpenes, which are also found in flowers and fruits. These compounds develop during the growth process and can give raw sweet potatoes a floral or sweet aroma. Cooking the sweet potato alters these compounds, resulting in a more earthy and sweet flavor, which is why they taste significantly different when baked or boiled.
Sweet potatoes are vegetables.
Sweet potatoes are not made from regular potatoes, but grow as a separate tuberous vegetable.
No, sweet potatoes are not required to be organic.
To prepare a delicious side dish using boiled white potatoes, you can make mashed potatoes by mashing the boiled potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. You can also make roasted potatoes by cutting the boiled potatoes into chunks, tossing them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs, and roasting them in the oven until crispy and golden brown.
Creamer potatoes should be boiled for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Boiled potatoes could develop harmful mold even in a refrigerator, in a period of 3 weeks. That is a very long time to store boiled potatoes (unless frozen, which is safer). Three weeks at room temperature is far too long for boiled potatoes (although raw potatoes can last that long).

Not really. Potatoes are loaded with starch and carbohydrates.
The number of sweet potatoes needed to make 4 cups of cubed sweet potatoes can vary based on the size of the potatoes. On average, one medium sweet potato yields about 1 to 1.5 cups when cubed. Therefore, you would typically need about 3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes to get 4 cups of cubed sweet potatoes.
