The potato tubers (potatoes) grow below the ground, but most of the potato plant (leaves etc.) grows above ground.
Potatoes are a root and grow best in moist soil.

Potatoes are grown under the ground, yes. The "eyes" of the original potatoe are put into the soil just like you would with a seed and then they are watered as a normal plant. They grow into a leafy plant ABOVE the ground which then grows the potatoes.

The obvious answer would be soil, but I think you are looking for more than that. Potatoes grow best in rich, light soil, and in home gardening, soil is pulled up around the growing plants to shield the new potatoes from sunlight (they turn green if exposed to sunlight). Each group of potatoes is called a hill- after the "hilling" of soil. Potatoes CAN be grown in containers, such as large buckets- and are harvested by dumping the bucket of soil.
Some fruits and vegetables that grow underground are potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets, sweet potatoes, radishes, onions, and garlic.
one food you eat that grows in the soil are potatoes. Carrots, parsnips and raddishes are other examples, these grow under the soil. Plants grow in soil; veggies, fruit, cereals are examples.
Potatoes can be grown anywhere that has a USDA zone 3 of above.
