I don't know if you can get sweet potatoes in the produce section of stores outside of the deep South, if not you should be able to get them in cans in stores outside of the fringes of said region.
No, they're not authentic Pilgrim food (sweet potatoes came to the Americas via Africa), but we don't have to concern ourselves with that--remember: this will be _Christmas_ dinner, and not Thanksgiving dinner.
