Yes. Washing has no effect on the curing process. Everything I read says that the potatoes will not keep as long when washed; I’m not sure. I have lots of clay in my soil, so the sweet potatoes have a lot of dirt/mud on them when dug. So I always wash them to get off the worst. They don’t keep well going into Spring, but some do and I usually have enough to make “starts” for the next year. I think most of my storage problem is the room is too warm until the weather cools.
