They are nutritionally very different!. Potatoes have a lot of quick starch, some fiber, and some potassium and iron!.
Sweet potatoes, while they do have these things, plus a higher sugar content, also have a much higher vitamin A content, which gives them their lovely orange color!. They also have vitamin C and vitamin B6, and have a tendency to stabilize the blood sugar of diabetics!. Really, everyone should be eating more sweet potatoes and less white potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

(1) sweet potato is sweet while potato isn't sweet!. -obviously-
(2) sweet potato is pink, potato is brown
(3) sweet potato is kinda longish while potato is kinda round
(4) sweet potato can be eaten raw, potato can't!.
(5)sweet potato is actually a root, carbohydrates are stored by the plant!. potato is a stem!.
they are both different but both are rich in carbohydrates, which causes weight gain

When you're on a diet, it is suggested that you eat a sweet potato rather than a regular one because it doesn't spike your sugar!.!.!.it's lower glycemic or something like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
