Sweet Potatoes or Yams? Americans sometimes call dark-skinned sweet potatoes “yams,” which are actually a different plant species from the sweet potato. Neither the dark-skinned nor the light-skinned sweet potatoes widely available in the United States are yams. Yams, which may have skin ranging in color from off-white to dark brown and flesh from off-white and yellow to purple and pink, are popular in South and Central America, the West Indies, and parts of Asia and Africa.
