Marigolds are one of my favorites since the plants are compact and fast growing. By early spring, they are already blooming and brightening up the room. Moreover, the cuttings are easy to root so when it's finally warm enough, I have multiple plants ready to go in the ground.

I also got to the Asian Market and picked up some of each sweet potato variety they had. (In produce. They don't carry garden stuff.) Did a little looking around on permies and found a method(s) some folks have been using for the same task. They're horizontal, about 25% - 30% percent covered in sand, on a heat mat.
Here's pictures of my other houseplants. Sorry for the weird angles, had to keep most of the clutter out of the shots. (What else could I do? Clean up?) The white pot, farthest away, is Pothos and Spider Plant. The light green pot in the same picture is Wandering Jew and the roots of the Sweet Potatoes. (There's one Sweet Potato leaf left, not sure you can make it out, backlit like this.) The dark green pot in the other picture is Aloe and Avocado.
