Add a photoThere continues to be debate on which is healthier: regular potato or sweet potato. While both are pretty similar as far as being a good source of carbohydrates, sweet potato is lower in calories and is richer in Vitamin A. And when it comes to cooking, you can almost always substitute one for the other, and really, it's a matter of preference.
I happen to prefer sweet potato. Whenever I can I use it as an alternative to dishes requiring a potato ingredient -- like Potato Au Gratin, that creamy, cheesy baked casserole dish that's great as a main dish or a side dish.
