LOL! I dont know, it is a mess, different names for all of them in different areas. Then you have grocery stores making people think that the sweet potatoes they are buging are yams when its damn near impossible to get real yams in the US....thats why i just stick with the sweets and ingore the rest....i am gonna try this red skin/new thing.....What i wanna know is why the GI of all of them is lower in Canada, what are we doing wrong down here, lol.

microwave and just chomp em. Sometimes I use reduced sugar ketchup (Heinz makes one thats sweetened with Sucralose- 1carb per tbsp) or I will use a few quirts of smart balance spray and then cover them with a pack of splenda and some cinnamon (this one is delicious).
