Default Sweet Potato Taste Test

7 Sweet Potato Varieties


Orange


Covington - Outstanding taste and production, probably the best orange


Vardaman - tastes good, roots are on the skinny side.



Hernandez - tastes good, long season, slow slip production



Beauregard - Early, Nice taste and texture, some roots are malformed


Copper Jewel - Some big early roots, taste is good


Baker - Great taste, does not grow well in my soil, plenty of tubers that grew deep and didn't size up



Topaz - Excellent sweet potato. great taste and texture



My rating



1 Covington
2 Topaz
3 Beauregard
4 Copper Jewel
5 Hernandez
6 Baker
7 Vardaman


Dropping Hernandez, Baker and Vardaman


Adding Bayou Belle and Bradshaw


The big surprise were the white ones. I had no idea the white sweets were so complex and interesting. I use to think people were nuts when they said they preferred the white ones but not anymore.
