Hi Paul,
You should be able to get slips then rooted plants from store bought sweet potatoes but if you have trouble, try to find organic ones. They might work better. Click below for the method to do it. I'm assuming that you know, but maybe there is a hint there that will help. Wishing you the best.

I do it all the time! Here is one of mine a few weeks ago before it went in ground.
We have done that. WE suspended a half sweet potato in water by putting a toothpick on each side and setting it in a jar. Change the water every 2 or 3 days and use filtered water. Regular faucet water has chlorine.
