Potatos belong to the same family as deadly nightshade... They are nowhere near as toxic, but the potato's leaves and fruits are still too poisonous to eat. Potato does not grow like a vine, it it a nice bunch of stalks and green leaves, similar to tomato plants(they are related). I *think* yams/sweetpotatoes grow in more trailing facion, like a vine, but I have never grown any. I don't know about the toxicity of sweet potatoes or yams, since they are entirely different plants.
