So, I've seen a previous question about brown spots in purple sweet potatoes, but I have baked a potato that actually has a large brown… area. Is this spoilage? I ate a bite from the "top" area, where there is no brown blotch, and it tastes okay… but the "varied" color of the rest makes me nervous.
Why is the purple sweet potato brown

That's a yam, not a sweet potato. Looks like tropical rot. Probably had one or more insects get into it in the monsoon season. Looks like a fungus infection to me. Too wet a soil.
