Do harvested sweet potatoes have to be cured for 10 days before eating or can they be eaten the same day they are dug?

They can be eaten the same day. If you are frying them, they will take longer to brown (just as white potatoes that are new). You can age them and they will brown faster. Aging is done by putting them in a cool, dry place and letting them sit. Potatoes will keep a very long time if you DO NOT wash them. That's why potatoes you buy in a store seem to rot quickly. Leave the dirt on them and if you can, keep them in a single layer in that cool, dry place.
