I got Back from a 10 day trip and this sweet potatoe gave me a root! I live in ALberta Canada and our growing season is nearing done.

I do not want to cut it up now for eating which was intended to in the first place.. but since it has a root how can i keep this growing till spring? sorry for such a beginner question. When I lived on a farm all we did was just plant small spuds for potatoes.

how can I save this for all winter long ? thank you!
