About sweet potato weight
A sweet potato tapers and curls, so length is a poor guide to weight; the USDA pegs a typical 5-inch sweet potato at 130 g. Shape varies enough that two “same-size” sweet potatoes can differ by a third, which is why baking times drift. Weigh when you're roasting a tray to an even doneness. (Source: USDA FoodData Central.)
