I've recently discovered purple yams (I think from Hawaii?) that are absolutely delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arent-sweet-potatoes-supposed-to-be-orange-inside#post-693852 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:02:41 +0000 mediagirl 693852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Know what's funny?

During the fall and winter months, all the supermarkets have those for sale, freshly roasted. There's also little trucks that drive around with a grill in the back roasting those sweet potatoes. It's sooo good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arent-sweet-potatoes-supposed-to-be-orange-inside#post-693379 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:33:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 693379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup- there are white and orange sweet potatoes!

I feel like some mashed sweet potatoes. I had butternut squash for Easter instead and it just did not compare.
