Tammy, I usually cut a small piece off one end of the sweet potato then stick toothpicks in it so it will be held up in a glass. Then put the cut end in the water in the glass. Add water as needed and change it if it looks funky. Your slips will grow from the potato. You can then snap those off and plant or you can snap them off and root them in water first. Either way has worked well for me.

You should be able to see what I'm talking about in this picture;o)

Edited because I can't spell tonight.
