Growing Yam/Oca, also Oka

I'm not in any of the above locations. I'm in Ireland (temperate) and got a present of some Oka tubers last Christmas.--- I hadn't a clue what they were,but since they were tubers (I didn't have a clue what kind of tubers), I waited for them to sprout - as I would with potatoes - and then planted them in 2ltr pots and have been earthing them up as they grow. Will I transfer them to the ground? When? If I get a crop, what's the best way to cook them?
