Delicious. Pleasing to the eye, as well as to the palate. Low in calories and fat. High in fiber, vitamin A and carotenoids. Plentiful and inexpensive. Easy to cook. Versatile. Help to lower cholesterol and ward off disease. Sweet potatoes are so yummy and satisfying, it's a wonder more Americans don't eat them. Roasted, mashed, baked, glazed with marshmallows if you must. Whipped into a pie or simply nestled onto a plate, you can't do much better nutritionally than a sweet potato. By the way, yam and sweet potato are pretty much interchangeable, so call them what you like. Just eat them!
