How to start ornamental sweet potatoes

I spent a small fortune last year on ornamental sweet potato vines. Is it possible to start my own? A lady in line last year told me she used just plain sweet potatoes to create starts. Is that possible? I didn’t think they were really the same plant. Can you give me some guidance?
