Jewel Yam

Jewel Yam is an orange-fleshed sweet potato that was created in the mid-20th century in the United States. These large potatoes are usually cylindrical with copper-colored skin and tapered ends, while their flesh is bright orange, firm, and moist.

In cooking, they can be baked, roasted, cooked, or fried, but they are also commonly mashed or used in casseroles, soups, or even desserts. They remain bright orange after they are cooked, while their flavor is sweet and usually subtly earthy.
