Something we've discovered: white sweet potatoes. They are sweet potatoes, just a different variety that look and taste like a cross between regular sweet potatoes and Idaho potatoes. Shaped just like any other sweet potato but skin and flesh that look more like an Idaho potato. Even the skin is in between, thinner than a regular sweet potato, thicker than an Idaho potato. They are less sweet and have a milder taste than a regular sweet potato, more creamy texture and much more fiber than an Idaho potato.
We have replaced both regular sweet potatoes and Idaho potatoes with the white sweet potatoes.
Depending on how long you cook it (I like to air fry them whole), the flesh either has the texture of an Idaho potato or a regular sweet potato. The longer you cook it, the creamier and darker it gets. It's like you took a baked Idaho potato and mixed in some butter and sour cream. We don't put anything on them, not even salt. Since unlike an Idaho potato it is not a nightshade, there are no toxins if you undercook it.
The starch in them is supposed to help regulate blood sugar.
They make killer fries that could be mistaken for Idaho potato fries depending you how long you fry them.
