Best Answer

There are a couple different ways.

1. You can lay the potato out in the sun until sprouts come out, then cut the potato into pieces so that each piece gets 1 to 4 sprouts. Then let the pieces scab out over night and plant them. Each piece will grow a new potato.

2. You can buy a small plant at a nursery or a Home Depot.

3. You can plant the entire potato and let it grow other potatoes off of it.

What do potatoes need to grow?

Sweet potatoes grow best with compost and an organic potato food will increase their size. I start mine from sweet potatoes rooted in water in the winter. When the vines grow from the potatoes, I cut them off the tuber and root them in water. I then plant these rooted vines in the garden after all danger of frost is past and given about 100 days to grow, they will produce new sweet potatoes. The last month or so, do not water the potato vines and this will increase the size of the new tubers.
