What to do with sweet potatoes cuttings?

A kind and thoughtful person took some sweet potato clippings (not sure if that’s the right term) into the local VA in a bucket of water with a free sign.
So I took a few and left a bunch. They were quite wilted. The water had a foul odor.
As you can see I brought the home, pruned the and put the in a tray of soil temporarily to nurse them back to health.
After three weeks, they are outgrowing the space. They seem to grow an inch a day. I do have an outdoor garden.
Questions:
I live in the Midwest. Is it too late to harvest sweet potatoes from these?
Are sweet potatoes perennial?
If not, is it possible to keep some sort of “starters” alive to next year?
What would you do?
I’ve never grown potatoes.
