White sweet potatoes are a variety of regular orange sweet potatoes. Both orange and white sweet potatoes are in the Morning glory family, Convolvulaceae.

The inside flesh of the white sweet potato is white or cream colored and is very firm.  (Sweet potatoes are not related to regular white potatoes, which are in the night-shade family, Solanaceae. Sweet potatoes are not related to true yams, family Dioscoreaceae).
