Boss and former coworker got into a very amusing argument over this and it got me curious.

    They’re quicker for making sweet potato pie since they’re already cooked. You add plenty of other ingredients to the filling so there’s less difference in the final product between canned and fresh

      That still doesn’t make sense, if you’re making a fresh pie but using canned ingredients, you might as well buy a pie. I’m sure they taste OK, but sweet potato’s are on of the easiest things to cook, if you want them soft before you put them in the pie, put them in a microwave for a bit.

        Not all grocery stores have fresh sweet potatoes all the time either

      Why do we use them interchangeably for a casserole dish, but always say sweet potato pie - never yam pie? Sounds weird. Same with fries.

        “Yam” doesn’t roll off the tongue as beautifully or sound nearly as appetizing
