Try this simple sweet potato recipe this coming holiday. CHRISTINA OISTMFEYER/KANSAN FOOD CHRISTINA OSTMEYER costmeyer@kansan.com Starchy versus sweet Yams and sweet potatoes are similar-tasting holiday foods but pose significant differences. What's the difference between a yam and a sweet potato? The two are actually not even botanically related. Though yams closely resemble sweet potatoes, they are much starchier, drier and are primarily grown in Africa. Ironically, the yam also has a sweeter taste. The skin of a yam is rough compared to the smooth exterior of a sweet potato. The confusion between the two is derived from the United States Department of Agriculture. The USDA needed a way to differentiate firm and soft sweet potatoes and therefore began calling the softer varieties 'yams'. In effect, unless one is specifically seeking yams, he or she will probably only find sweet potatoes in most grocery stores. Simple Mashed Sweet Potatoes Ingredients: bake at 375 F for 40 minutes. Pull the potatoes out of the oven and mash.
