Ingredient: Sweet Potato

The sweet potato or sweetpotato is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family, Convolvulaceae. Its large, starchy, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots are a root vegetable. The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens. The sweet potato is commonly thought to be a type of potato but does not belong to the nightshade family, Solanaceae, but both families belong to the same taxonomic order, the Solanales.
