maybe because you've been eating sweet potato without knowing? And because the sugars break down in the potato.
Answer:
Saliva contains salivary amylase (ptyalin). This enzyme breaks down the starch in potatoes into simple sugars like maltose which are sweet. Once converted your taste buds can recognize the sweetness of the sugar.
