After all, it’s not a potato at all. sweetpotatoes are only distant relatives of the potato family, which are night-shade plants (Solanaceae). Instead, they are members of the morning-glory family (Convolvulaceae) and have been on North American tables since long before the first pilgrims came from England: they were an indispensable part of native American diets. The sweetpotato has its real roots in Central America. From there, the story of their sweet success has spanned the history of the US like a bright orange through line. They helped European settlers survive the early years of famine, and they later secured their status as an American classic both during the War of Independence and the course of the Civil War.
