Sweet potatoes are a close second. The leaves can be sautee'd like spinach, the tubers can be eater raw/undercooked without the same ill effects that potatoes can cause. The stems produce a toxin that works a bit like LSD though, so don't eat them raw.
Yup, if you've got a fairly decent vine going ( or a plot of several vines) you just go out and snip off the largest leaves as you need them. A small handful should make an okay portion (after cooking) for a single person.

Yes, sweet potato > potato.
In a potato everything but the tuber is poison, and if the tuber is in the light too long it just becomes poison.
Sweet potato you eat all of it. Everything. And it stores really well at room temperature
this is the first that I've heard about sweet potato stems being psychedelic
I heard a story recently about it and after some quick looking up of things, it seems legit.
I didn't know you could eat the greens. I'm going to have to try that.
