white sweet potato
Cream-fleshed root vegetable
A white sweet potato is a variety of sweet potato with pale cream or white flesh, milder and less sweet than the orange-fleshed types common in American supermarkets.
The texture tends to be drier and starchier, closer to a regular potato.
White sweet potatoes are standard in many Asian and Caribbean cuisines: I roasted some white sweet potatoes with garlic and herbs.
