I grow them! Stokes Purple. They are the best because they are not as gluey as other types of sweet potato. They even grow in our hot summer weather.
ETA: it’s resource intensive but my favorite way to prepare them is freeze then bake, and I like them with olive oil, goat cheese, pepitas and salt & pepper.
They have a kind of cool story too, were developed as a replacement crop for tobacco farmers in North Carolina. So easy to propagate. Just let one sprout then put it in a big container of dirt (easier to find them if you grow in a container) and if you get too many don’t sell them, I think they are still under patent.

That is amazing!
