Every once in awhile Ill dig up a rotten sweet potatoe.
Worms are more of an issue, but if you have a ton, they can't get them all. Also, most blemishes can be cut off.
Just make sure to have pleanty of space for them. Like their own 8 x 8 garden bed. Hight of the summer is when theyre at their sweetest, but I wait till fall cus its hot for digging and Im not big on sweet lol
I find regular potatoes don't do as well for me. They grow more like a bush and all the potatoes are under one bush. They're also more suseptible to being sickly and pest
So they are best grown in a pot. Like, their own 5 gallon pot where they can be managed a bit more. Also their leaves aren't edible.
When you harvest there will be a bunch of tiny little sweet/reg/potatoes. Just replant those for the following year.
