I'm sorry, my post was confusing.
Ipomoea batatas IS real sweet potato.
Sweet Potato is in the same plant family as Morning Glory, believe it or not,
and has a similar (though smaller) trumpet shaped flower.
Chenno ~ It is possible that if you dug up your plant, you might find tubers in the soil.
But, to be honest, the plant looks pretty small, and it may not have formed any potatoes.
I grew mine outside this summer and dug up several potatoes when the weather turned cold.
I'm saving them and I will replant them in about 6 weeks.
