Un camote es un "sweet potato" en inglés. We also say: "Hombre precavido, vale por dos". In English an equivalent phrase could be: "Forewarned is forearmed."

Thanks! I knew the meaning of the individual words, but wasn't sure of the idiomatic meaning--although I suspected. Appreciate your help so much. - stancjones, Dec 3, 2012
