SWEET POTATOES — CLOSEST TO HOMEMADE
Information updated November 2025
Sweet Potatoes are a sweet form of Potatoes. Since they are often erroneously referred to as Yams, “Yams” have entered the U.S. vernacular when referring to Sweet Potatoes. Hence, we often see both designations on manufactured Sweet Potatoes but, to be clear, Sweet Potatoes are not the same thing as Yams.
Homemade Candied Sweet Potatoes can be eaten plain or served candied with Water plus Sugar.
The good news is there are several brands of Sweet Potatoes and Candied Sweet Potatoes whose ingredients are Closest To Homemade.
