Sweet Potatoes

We are having a disagreement in our house - looking for a referee.
I say you serve sweet potatoes as an alternative to regular potatoes cooked anyway you prefer.. DH says sweet potatoes are a vegetable that you serve along with regular potatoes. This is what his mother did - so therefore must be right!

Who is right? Sweet potatoes - vegetable or potato? ? ?

  • Let him think he is right....I have served sweet potatoes along with mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes by themselves as a potato. I have never thought of a sweet potatoes as a vegetable even tho they are.

    In a restaurant, when you have a choice of two or three vegetables, sweet potatoes are listed as a vegetable as are mashed potatoes. But I wouldn't usually ored both on same plate. My late husband did....man thing?
