Thanks so much. Yes, they are foot family plants. We also have what is called Yams. They are lighter in color. My family loves my sweet potato pies. I published the recipe on Hive. The crust is flour based.

Both yams and sweet potato are high in calories and carbs. Add sugar, and it's really sweet and not to be eaten regularly, but on special occasions. I usually cook them for holidays.

Take care.
