The previous answers are meaningless. I know the vid speaks. I had one in a hanging basket and I was considered in the greenhouse during the winter. When spring comes, I went into the basket and found it was full of tubers! This is an ornamental plant, I suggest trying to eat. It might be interesting to try to plant material, new plants from the tubers, but ....
The ornamental vine "sweet potato" you speak of non-producing potatoes, but of purple flowers. This facility will be a year.

I worked on a farm in the Aboriginal community, where he grew sweet potatoes, corn, bananas, etc., for local consumption. The cuttings are planted in groups 3 a.m. to 4 p.m. mound. The memory is a harvest of 12 months here, and are harvested when the vines die. I think the plants left to grow on the islands of the movement are re-grow from tubers.
Sorry for the long answer. I hate long answers, right?

I've heard it is the quality you expect from a sweet potato grown specifically as a food, but it would be dangerous to consume too. Could be an interesting experience ....
Two commonly known landscape vines planted potatoes - with white flowers and one with purple flowers. The plants are not at all similar in shape and have no potatoes.
