Yes they are edible. Most likely it's a cultivar of the sweet potato known as 'margarita,' which is an ornamental sweet potato. Anyways, you can eat them, but who knows what they taste like? Some sources say they're good, others say they're flavorless. Try it, then share some with everyone!
As for the best way to serve it, just bake it, or slice them into "disks (like thick cucumber slices)" and sweeten then with something for a nice treat.
