Japanese Sweet Potato (Satsumaimo)

My Japanese Sweet Potatoes (Satsumaimo) are about four weeks old and growing fast. As a reminder, the plant on the left was grown from a vine I got from a neighbor and the plant on the right was from a store bought potato I planted. You can tell by the leaves they are different plants. I know what type of potato i planted, but not sure what they neighbor gave me. Kind of excited to see what I get in four to 6 months.

Satsumaimo have red, pink or purple skin and white inside, but after cooking they will turn yellowish. They are healthier than white potatoes and high in antioxidants.
