Are white fleshed and orange fleshed sweet potatoes interchangeable?!

Question: I bought two identical looking sweet potatoes for my valentines dinner. When I just peeled them, one had white flesh and one had orange flesh. (I was expecting both to be orange!) Can I still make mashed sweet potatoes and have them taste right, or do I have to drag myself and my 6 month old BACK to the grocery store to buy an orange one?

They do taste slightly different - one is a bit sweeter. Use both and add a little honey or sugar if necessary. You should be fine with what you have!

There is not much difference in taste.Go ahead and mash them.Taste for sweetness and adjust the sweetener you are using to suit your taste.
