What is Potato yam?
Sweet potato sold under the 'yam' label — the orange-fleshed, copper-skinned tuber (true botanical yams are different). Sweet, moist flesh that softens when cooked.
Candied 'yams' and sweet-potato pie on soul-food and holiday menus; sweet-potato fries and wedges; roasted in grain bowls and tacos; Caribbean ground-provision sides; mashed and puréed soups.

What's behind the price
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on potato yam can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Buy firm with no soft spots or sprouting; store cool and dry but NOT in the walk-in (cold makes the centers hard and off-flavored); roast whole for the sweetest, caramelized flesh.
