One is red and one is white.
There are 5 major differences between a potato and a sweet potato, only a couple of which are easy to detect. Color - A sweet potato will be darker inside than a potato. Sweetness - A sweet potato has about 4 times the sugar of a potato, enough to detect by taste. Sodium - Although undetectable by taste, a sweet potato has about 10 times the sodium Vitamin A - A sweet potato has more than 1000 times the Vitamin A than a potato Beta-Carotene - A sweet potato has more than 1000 times the beta-carotene than a potato.
sweet
It's smoother, less stringy. I think it is the best of both worlds. It is still quite sweet like the sweet potato, naturally sweeter in my opinion. I could eat a white sweet potato plain...but would need butter and sugar for the orange sweet potato.
Most potato plants have white flowers. Sweet potatoes are the only potato plants without white flowers. (they have no flowers)
Irish potatoes do have more electricity!They are also the yummiest!

I had never thought about using a sweet potato for salt extraction, but I always use a white potato. I think the sweet potato would flavor the foods whereas a white potato would absorb the flavor with the salt. An added note - don't leave the potato cooking until it completely cooks and gets soft or it will re-salt the food.
potato
you cook it in somebody's bon bons
Yes there is. There are a number of varieties of sweet potatoes other than the familiar deep orange.
Sweet potato and yams are packed with more nutrition, but the regular old Idaho potato does have some good B vitamins. It is the processing of white potatoes into mashed mixes and the butter topping that makes white potatoes get a reputation for being unhealthy.There are all kinds of potatoes in between, particularly the rarer heirloom varieties such as the purple peruvian mountain potato, the Japanese purple sweet potato, African Yam, and others that come in many colors, textures, and flavors. One should experiment with as many as possible. They're all great.You will see that sweet potatoes have:Less caloriesLess carbsMore fiberMore vitamin A and CThat is better than white potatoes that is the "opposite part"
Although the orange colored sweet potato you see in grocery stores grows underground as a tuberous root, the part of the plant above ground grows a white flower with a purple center because it is a dicotyledonous plant.
