    I'm thinking the tare didn't "take" when you pressed it. A 685 gram sweet potato has got to be a really big sweet potato. I plucked one up from my garden the other day that weighed 110 grams and it was a pretty decent size.

    ETA: nevermind..you said it was 7 x 7. That is a very large sweet potato. And yeah, starchy root vegetables tend to be very good sources of calories.

    I always buy the petite sweet potatoes. They are 110 calories each.

    It seems quite strange yes. I usually have half to a full sweet potato for about 100 calories... If you go on Google nutrition, an average sweet potato of 5" is 130g for 112 calorie.
    I would probably assume something went wrong with the weighting, which is not something I would usually say.

    No potato is exactly 110 calories each. Still got to weigh them.
