Default Hilling sweet potatoes with straw?

I am new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone has experience in growing sweet potatoes. Can you grow them in a straw bed and the hill them up like reg potatoes? I know some people grow them in straw bales but I wanted to try another approach for possibly better results. I was thinking of trying this.

6 inch straw matt with 3 to 4 inch soil on top w some manure. Then hill them up as the grow with more straw. I figure the straw will be easier to grow in than dirt.
