sweet potato
Thanksgiving casserole ingredient
A sweet potato is a starchy root vegetable with orange or yellow flesh and a slightly sweet flavor, eaten baked, mashed, or fried.
Despite the name, it's unrelated to the ordinary potato.
In the American South, sweet potatoes are often called yams, though true yams are a different plant entirely.
