Hey Richard B. There is a Native Sweet Potato in the Southeast that was eaten by the Creeks. That is why there was a "Potato Clan." It was either baked in coals or fried in hickory nut oil. The indigenous Sweet Potato like its South American cousin (which is cultivated now) was a member of the Morning Glory family. The flowers and leafs are almost identical to a Morning Glory, but form a bush shape like a bean plant. The Southeastern Sweet Potato only has one potato per plant, whereas the South American cultivated Sweet Potato has multiple potato.

I love fried round sweet potatoes in bread. They make a good sandwich if placed in a hoecake. Also on the scupernon(sp) pie someone wrote about, I make scupernon cobblers and they are great!
