sweet potato vs the regular kind

Tonights fun and oh-so-healthy diabetic dinner: SWEET POTATO FRIES!!!!! MMMMMMMM and a side of campbell's soup (actually either one could be the side, you pick).
Kristen's FANTABULOUS sweet potato fries recipe:
cut a sweet potato into wedges, place on a cookie sheet smeared with olive oil, bake at 450 till crispy and delicious!

one sweet potato: 118 calories, 2g protein, 30 carbs, .4g fat
vs
one regular potato: 220 calories, 4.7 g protein, 51 carbs, .2g fat

The moral of this story folks, sweet potatoes equal twice as nice and half the carbs!!!
