Is there such a thing as white sweet potato?

* Sweet potatoes are actually root vegetables that come in a variety of colors, including orange, purple, and even white.

* White potatoes, on the other hand, are tubers that are typically white or yellow on the inside.

So, while you might find white-fleshed sweet potatoes, they're not a distinct variety called "white sweet potato". They are just one of many varieties of sweet potato.
