Related to Sweet Potato

Potato

The everyday swap for roasts, mash, and fries. Potato (156 g/cup vs 139 g/cup) is starchier and not sweet, so the dish turns out firmer and more savoury. Best when you want the texture without the sweetness. See our Potato converter.

Pumpkin

A close match for purées, soups, and pies. Pumpkin (120 g/cup) is lighter and wetter, so cook it down a little further and expect a softer, less starchy result with similar colour and gentle sweetness. See our Pumpkin converter.

Butternut Squash

The nearest swap for sweetness and colour. Butternut (146 g/cup) roasts and mashes much the same way, slightly less sweet and a touch firmer. Use it in soups, traybakes, and casseroles with no recipe changes. See our Butternut Squash converter.

Carrot

Adding carrot to the roast? The carrot converter works out whole-item counts and chopped cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See our Carrot converter.
