Can sweet potatoes grow in straw like Irish potatoes?

I was thinking of planting sweet potatoes in a big, half whiskey barrel, but it would be awfully heavy/messy to tip over the barrel and not crazy about having to reach in up to my elbows to dig them out by hand.

I'm trying Irish potatoes in straw this year since it sounds a lot cleaner to harvest that way... has anyone tried the same with sweet potatoes? Or any other suggestions to make harvesting easier?
