In the Spring, cut up pieces of potatoes that contain "eyes". (small dots on the potato) These are then planted in the ground. They will grow into a new potato plant.
Sometimes store bought potatoes will have been sprayed with chemicals to keep them from growing. Do not plant these kind. They won't grow and the chemicals may harm other plants around it. -BrioPower

∙ 13y agoYes they are the same potato. I really think it is a regional issue as to whether you call them new potatoes or red potatoes. If you do a Google image search of each, you will find that the same potato keeps popping up over and over again, red or "new" potatoes!
