Yup. They're fine for me as long as I don't eat the skins. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams are all okay.

Yes! They're safe! And you should try Heather's Smoky Sweet Potato Soup. I just made it tonight and it's one of my favorites

both the yellow and orange varieties are actually both sweet potatoes, we just call them two different things, generally the white/yellow are called the sweet potatoes and the yams are the orange ones, in canada at least, but the actual thing is that they are both sweet potatoes, yams are actually a tropical fruit that we don't get up here in north america.
