The verdict
Sweet potato is packed with vitamin A (as beta-carotene), a little more fibre, and has a lower glycaemic impact. White potato edges ahead on potassium and protein. Both are nutritious whole foods — the idea that white potatoes are 'unhealthy' doesn't hold up; how you cook them matters far more.
