Though the above picture looks like one long container it is actually three separate containers. I planted these Sweet Potato (Satsumaimo) cuttings about six months and decided to harvest one container.
I was surprised to get so many Potatoes considering this all started with one cutting.
After I took this picture I found one more Potato that weighed about 150 grams, so in total I got roughly 1,600 grams (3.5 pounds) of Potatoes from this one container.
You should cure sweet potatoes or they will not have that delicious, sweet taste. Curing the potatoes allows a second skin to form over scratches and bruises that occur when digging up the potatoes. To cure, keep the roots in a warm place (about 80°F/27°C) at high humidity (about 90%) for 10 to 14 days. A table outside in a shady spot works well. For best curing, make sure that the potatoes are not touching one another.
