Sweet potatoes have smooth reddish skin, softer flesh (when cooked), and a sweet flavor. You don't have to worry about mixing them up while you're shopping because true yams are rarely found in American grocery stores. The popular canned yams that you see around the holidays are technically sweet potatoes.
The best canned yams (aka canned sweet potatoes) are sweet, tender, and taste as good as fresh yams when you use them to make candied yams or a sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving.
