Default Yams ?

Anyone growing them? I think I have Dioscorea batatas, I was given a
small plant a couple of years ago and this year its decided to go mad!
but I am not sure how to crop it with a view to keeping the plant alive
as well. Seems to be hardy and I assume its the swollen tubers one eats?

This failed to send before on this newsreader
