Has anyone grown or tasted WHITE SWEET POTATOES?

A friend gave me a handful of stalks yesterday and said plant them hilled up because they don't like wet feet. I'm pondering planting them under glass since they like heat...but I don't have much room. Also, what is the difference between white and orange sweet potatoes as to taste?

Thank you both for the warning. I'll try growing one in a pot and the rest feed the compost.
