Store sweet potato like ... potatoes?

Hey all,

I love sweet potato but we can't grow them here (season is waaay to short).

Just found a deal on US grown sweet potatoes for half the usual supermarket price. I would buy lots more, but I don't want to waste them.

Can I store them in my cold room just like potatoes and onions? How long will they keep?

Thanks!

Yes, they store just the same.
They are like potatoes, check them for going bad, the best ones will last till spring probably.


And choose a couple, bring them in the house, put them in water (read up on making slips off sweet potatoes) and the vines they'll grow (a slip is a vine removed early) has tasty greens. Fresh greens all winter if you have a place you can grow a plant.

Hey, thanks Pearl! I appreciate your wisdom on this. It's a great deal and the clock is ticking.  

Definitely snag some!!
:D
