Growing a potato is actually quite easy.

You need a seed potato, a small garden plot or a large container or large plastic bag filled with soil or a mix of soil and compost.


Plant the potato about 6 inches down in a sunny location, when shoots appear, bank up the soil to encourage more growth, water the plant in dry conditions.


After a few months the plant will be fully grown, when the leaves start to die back it's time to harvest, you should get at least a couple of pounds of potatoes from one healthy plant.
