I have a tip for cooking this potato. When you boil them to just fork done~ness, leave them submerged in water way after the water has cooled. If you eat the potatoes right away, they are delicious but dry and the purple striations run throughout the white potato. But if you leave them to cool and submerged for 10+ hours before peeling and eating, the flesh will be a deep, dark, rich, solid purple (kind of like a beet only purple) and the taste is moist, sweet and starchy good. If you want to eat them hot again, you can either cube or mash or slice and then microwave till hot. Cooking them (the submerged for 10 hours way) they are sugary sweet and only need a skosh of sea salt and/or butter. Try cooking them both ways and you'll see a HUGE difference. In Hawaii, we buy them as a snack in markets and eat them hot or cold, just as is. We refer to this purple variety as, Okinawan Sweet Potato and is one of the priciest potatoes we have. They are also traditionally boiled, sliced and then tempura fried and served along side okazuya plate lunches at local delis, sometimes @ 50~75c per small piece.
Sir, after you harvest the sweet potato you can re plant the vine and it would produce sweet potato again.. It is how it is done here in the Philippines.
Aloha Shawn, don't forget the greens are great eating too like spinach. In Hawaiian sweet potatoes are called 'uala a very ancient and important crop. It is also an important crop for native Maori of New Zealand. New Zealand has a temperate climate similar to Oregon so they should grow well there.
They should be grown in mounds or hills of rich soil. We grew them in kauai in long continuous mounded up soil surrounding the whole garden around the perimeter on three sides, leaving one side without them as the entrance to the crop rows. Adding soil to the hill(mound) as it grew. This much allowed for continuous harvesting of the young shoots of the vine for greens while the potatoes grew (they take a while), the green shoots are very nutritious and have a unique flavor that became my favorite greens of all. Then we harvested a massive amount of spuds, for us and farmers market
Hola Shawn, here is Pam from Los Cabos MX,. I have a question: How long should I leave the sweet potato on a paper bag in order to start my own slip? Also are purple sweet potato behave the same way as the orange ones? In mexico super difficult to find purple sweet potato or their seeds.
Ok will do...maybe.. But plant is growing nicely as an ornamental. Is it going to try to produce potatoes in the container? What if i dont dig them up? Thx
Looks good. Making us from Hawaii proud to see your growing something from our island home. Try grow some dry land or wet land taro. Not sure if it will do well in your neck of the woods?
Shawn, did you just throw away the leaves when harvested the potatoes? They can be eaten like spinach (quickly boiled or fried in a pan). People in Asia eat sweet potato leaves and soft stems.
Sweet potatoes normally require a LOT of heat to produce tubers. That is exciting to see you got such a great harvest. What did the ones you ate taste like? More details on how you stored them so you could slip them? When did you start the slips, did you say March?
More efficient and easier way to crop a sweet potato is to use the stems. Just cut a 12 inch long stem and remove the leaves halfway or the part that will be submerged into the water. This way you can choose how many crops you want to make and it wont take much of the space too if you submerged into the water. I don’t know how long it will take for the stems to grow their root but this is how the people in my village does if they crop sweet potatoes.
'superfood' is made up bs. so called 'superfoods' are really no different than every other fruit you can get. it is all about marketing to people gullible enough to buy in to it. that is why 'health food' fads are just that; fads. ones that change so quickly that it should be obvious that they are nonsense.
I bought this variety. Tastes like crap. Thick and chewy not creamy. I was SO disapointed! Cool color. I am now just growing rhe rest for ornamental purposes only but wont get again
its cool that you are learning to grow your own food, but ask yourself this, does molokai purple sweet potato even sound natural? for starters sweet potatoes arent even natural they are gmo. Its ok if you dont care but just a heads up you arent consuming a natural crop.
Not necessarily, natural sweet potatoes have been cultivated for at least five thousand years in South America. Though I don't know about this variety of them.
MrUnoverse No the Aztecs and Mayans probably had the means to implant genes from other species in their sweet potatoes, right? Get your ignorant tin foil clad head out of your fucking ass.

That deep dark purple color will give you numerous types of bioflavonoids and antioxidents. Fantastic super food. Well done!
Sir, after you harvest the sweet potato you can re plant the vine and it would produce sweet potato again.. It is how it is done here in the Philippines.
This is awesome, that Molokai looks great with a really nice shade of purple, too. Thanks for showing it to us!

Do they taste like regular sweet potatoes?
You can actually eat the leaf of sweet potatoes just grease the pan with lard or some oil put onions and garlic you can also add meat if you want
How do I know that they are ready to harvest?
This will be my 1st year growing sweet potatoes. Do you just get 1 tuber per slip or does each slip produce multiple tubers?
Looks good. Making us from Hawaii proud to see your growing something from our island home. Try grow some dry land or wet land taro. Not sure if it will do well in your neck of the woods?
Shawn, did you just throw away the leaves when harvested the potatoes? They can be eaten like spinach (quickly boiled or fried in a pan). People in Asia eat sweet potato leaves and soft stems.
hey Shawn, can u tell me about ecolab traps, it's commercial... and makes me wonder to the collect the mice and run tests on them?! like in a lab?!
Hello from central Oregon! (Lapine)

When are you harvesting?

Fun fact: The tips of the plant of those sweet potatoes are edible

Cool will try
Looks like it came from a mysterious forest or something out of fantasy.

Those are mouse traps in disguise.
go through the earth again just to be sure you got all of the potatoes. unless you want to grow potatoes there the next year too :D
uploaded on my birthday
wishing it were ube or taro ;_;
Docile Gatos you're Filipino?
Docile Gatos, these are ube. Just a different name.
fattymoko no, ube is a yam (Dioscorea alata), not a sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas).
fattymoko not even by taste they’re just both purple, thats like saying carrots and onions are the same
To be honest，in China，people just put the sweet potato's vine in the dirt. And it will grow just like what you got.
Sweet potatoes are reputedly a "superfood."
'superfood' is made up bs. so called 'superfoods' are really no different than every other fruit you can get. it is all about marketing to people gullible enough to buy in to it. that is why 'health food' fads are just that; fads. ones that change so quickly that it should be obvious that they are nonsense.
