I am allergic to white potatoes but not sweet potatoes. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Apples & oranges: They are two entirely different botanical products like apples and oranges. By the way, white potato allergy is very rare. Wonder if you only noted allergic reaction (if that's what it is) only when you eat the peel as in the case of baked potato.
