Most commonly, sweet potatoes are harvested when the plant dies off, often as winter approaches and frosts begin. They can be harvested before this by cutting tubers from the plant. If the cut tuber exudes a milky juice that turns blackish upon drying then the tubers are not ready. If it dries clear, they are mature.
