No, but tell us how you get on, as I expect I'd like to eat them. Real Seeds say it is simple as dahlias, of the variety one overwinters indoors, and show a picture of big tubers dug up. Other sources say you need a long growing season. Vegetable Seeds : Unusual Tubers: Oca, Ulluco etc

I expect you need a lot of rain, but then you have that.
