Sweet Potato vs Normal Potato?

Question

I currently have for my tea: 1/2 plate of veg, 1/4 plate carbs & 1/4 plate meat.

I have made some sweet potato for my tea tonight but I'm not sure if I should include this in my veg or carbs? I put normal potato in the carbs section but whats the difference with sweet potato because it's supposed to be better for you.

Also, how many calories are in sweet potato and a normal potato?

Thanks in advance!
