The answer is YAM.
A yam is an edible root vegetable that is often confused with a potato, but they are botanically different. Yams are starchy tubers that belong to the Dioscorea family, while potatoes are from the Solanaceae family.
Yams are typically sweeter and have a rough, dark brown to light purple skin with a white or purple flesh, whereas potatoes have a smoother skin and a more neutral taste. Despite these differences, yams and potatoes are often used in similar culinary applications, such as roasting, mashing, and frying. In some regions, the term "yam" is incorrectly used to describe sweet potatoes, adding to the confusion.
