"I love Sweet Potatoes that way. :)"

And won't those carmalized cubes be even better with fried bacon and onion, and slightly carmalized brussel sprounts on top! (With a splash of vinegerette or sesame oil on your assembled bowl!)

I grew some Korean golden sweet potatoes in 5 garden bags this year. Not impressed by the yield, but I expect a a reduced yield growing in bags. I have not tasted them yet, they are curing on the back porch. There were a bunch of them but they were smallish with a number of skinny ones. Apparently the skinnies are good for making slips for next year.

Covington is a good variety in northern tier states, but I think you already know this!

If I had room I would probably grow it (along with a lot of other things!)

BBC story...alternatives to using peat

It can be grown faster in a controlled setting than in the bog, so some lady is starting to select fast growing varieties and growing it in a green house. Need to save the bogs for the pitcher plants!!
