If you’ve ever spotted white sweet potatoes at the grocery store and wondered how to cook them, you’re in the right place. Baking is the easiest way to bring out their naturally creamy texture and mild sweetness. With just a little olive oil, flaky salt, and time in the oven, you’ll have a simple, healthy side dish that pairs with almost anything.

I went to the store for a potato and walked out with something weird…

The first time I ever made a white sweet potato it was on accident. A happy accident as they are even more delicious than a regular potato in my book. I was in a hurry and didn’t even notice what I’d grabbed. When I was slicing it open at home I thought, “Is this a sweet potato? Why is it white? Did I buy the wrong thing?”

So, I googled:

“What the heck is a white sweet potato, and what am I supposed to do with it?”

I decided to cook the white sweet potatoes exactly the same way I bake regular potatoes. The skins get lightly crisp, the inside becomes fluffy and creamy, and they’re perfect loaded with your favorite toppings. It’s a nutrient-dense side dish you can make instead of regular potatoes to go with your favorite proteins, breakfast or fresh salad!

You bought one. You cut it open. It’s white. Did you accidentally buy a potato?

What Is a White Sweet Potato and What Do They Taste Like?

Ok, don’t stress. A white sweet potato is a root vegetable with light tan skin and a pale white interior. They have a milder sweetness than the familiar orange sweet potato, but they’re just as creamy when baked. Their subtle flavor makes them delicious with both sweet toppings like cinnamon butter and savory toppings like sour cream, cheese, or herbs.

It’s almost like a cross between a yukon gold and orange sweet potato. And it is delicious!

White Sweet Potatoes vs. Orange Sweet Potatoes

Can I Use Other Varieties of Potatoes?

You don’t have to stick with red potatoes for this recipe, though they’re pretty perfect with their creamy centers and thin, crispy skins. If a bag of reds isn’t in your pantry, try swapping in Yukon Gold Potatoes (they’re buttery and golden with a rich flavor) or even Russet potatoes (fluffier inside with a bit of a bite once roasted).

Just know that each type of potato has a different starch level, which means the texture will change slightly, but honestly, you can’t go wrong. Crispy roasted potatoes of any kind are always a win in my book!

Can I Add Other Seasonings?

Absolutely! Think of this recipe as your crispy, fluffy canvas. This red skin potatoes recipe is amazing as-is, but if you’re in the mood to play around, go for it! You can keep it simple with garlic powder or fresh
