Sweet potatoes grow best with compost and an organic potato food will increase their size. I start mine from sweet potatoes rooted in water in the winter. When the vines grow from the potatoes, I cut them off the tuber and root them in water.

The last month or so, do not water the potato vines and this will increase the size of the new tubers.
