Digging the Sweet Potatoes

We dug up the sweet potatoes a couple of days ago. We like to get them out of the ground before it frosts because a frost will kill the vines. Most of the big potatoes are concentrated around where the sweet potato slips were planted, but we also found some smaller ones in other places where the vines had taken root.

After digging them up, they need to be cured in a warm place (80-85F) for a couple of weeks. Then, just store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to eat them.
Don’t forget to save some for making slips again next year!
