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.

Since sugars are used to make starch in a plant why don't such starchy foods as potatoes taste sweet?
Starchy foods like potatoes don't taste sweet because the starch they contain is composed of long chains of glucose molecules that are not readily perceived as sweet. Sweetness is typically associated with simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose, which have a more direct impact on taste receptors. In the case of potatoes, enzymes in the plant convert sugars into starch for energy storage, but the starch itself does not elicit a sweet flavor until it is broken down into simpler sugars through processes like cooking or digestion.
