It's the variety they grow, Daryl, the Orleans variety. First year they grew sweet potatoes they grew half the acreage in another variety and gave me a box of each to take home, with instructions to compare them and let him know what we thought. There was no contest. The Orleans was "creamier", almost like a soufflé in the hull. They also have no "stringiness", unlike all other store bought ones I've ever tried.

I think it's amazing how my friends went from never having grown sweet potatoes to planting 600 acres the first year. They continue to grow them so I assume it has been a profitable venture. Very labor intensive and expensive, crop to harvest, though.
