The sweet potato, otherwise known as kumara, belongs to the Convolvulaceae family, while the typical white potato is from the Solanaceae or �nightshade� family. So, although they are both called potatoes and have a similar appearance on the outside, the two aren't actually as closely related as one might have first thought � but they do share a common history. Sweet potato recipes have been with us even longer than our favourite white potato recipes. Although they exist all over the world today, many historians believe sweet potatoes and common potatoes originated in Peru because archaeologists have discovered their remnants in the Andes area that date back eight thousand years. The lovely, rich orange colour of the sweet potato immediately attracted Columbus and his Spanish crew when they landed in the Americas in 1492. Throughout the 1500s, Spanish explorers continued discovering all different kinds of sweet potato plants throughout the region and began taking them back to Europe. While it took almost two hundred years for Europeans to fully accept the common white potato into their diet, sweet potatoes were accepted almost immediately.

When it comes to white potato nutrition and sweet potato nutrition, it's really not a matter of competition because they both have a great deal of nutritional value. In fact, the two actually complement each other, so when you are trying to decide whether to have white potatoes or sweet potatoes, you can actually serve both together to get the best of both worlds. For example, you could use half sweet potatoes, half white potatoes in the Sweet Potato Fritters recipe � but only if you want to. The main difference would be that it might not taste as sweet. You can always experiment with this recipe to see what works best for you and your family. For the full health benefits of both kinds of potatoes, however, it's always a good idea to use organic potatoes in all of your potato recipes whenever you possibly can.
