No, you shouldn't use them. White potatoes are part of the nightshade family and bother a lot of people.

The two charts I use the most are: calgary food families and now that I've found the joneja chart, that one too.

Solanaceae is the nightshade family.
Convolvulaceae is the family to which sweet potatoes belong so it's most closely related to such plants as morning glory and bindweed.
