I’ve never heard of the Japanese sweet potato. Can I use the regular sweet potato, if that makes sense? Or will the taste be different? Thank you!
Hello Lesly! The Japanese Sweet Potato is much sweeter than the regular (orange) sweet potato. It is also very creamy in texture. The Japanese Sweet Potato can be found at Asian markets in your local market. The regular (orange) sweet potato would alter the color of the icing and could alter the texture of the finished product. Hope this insight was helpful. 🙂
