What do you think? Unhealthy starchy jonkkk or mother nature’s super food?

How does it compare to the other carb kings (rice, bread, noodles) in therms of nutritional content?

What’s your favorite type of tater? Favorite way to cook them?

I like parboiling them and grilling them with some olive oil.

    Sweet potatoes are tastier and more nutritious than regular ol white potato. Not as versatile for cooking because it gets mushy and has a stronger flavor profile though. But if you’re just eating them by themselves as a snack the sweet potato is far superior. Fun fact: despite their name and similar appearance they are from completely different botanical families.

      Koreans literally do snack on sweet potatoes (고구마). Just toss em in the microwave or grill em. They’re pretty good! Sometimes they add butter or any dash of salt

        Ha, I buy my sweet potatoes from Hmart (Korean grocer) because they have the best selection. Also the only place that sells the purple ones. I just steam them and eat it plain because they’re tasty enough already.
