A potato has several depretions which are called 'eyes'. Now, if a piece of potato with an eye is buried in the soil, watered regularly and kept in sunlight, then after a few days you will find that shoots and roots are developing from the 'eye'and thus a new potato plant grows.

∙ 15y agoPotatoes require full sun to grow. Because they are aggressively rooting plants, they will produce the best crop when planted in a light, loose, well-drained but moisture retentive loam. Potatoes prefer a slightly acid soil with a pH of 5.8-6.5.
Fortunately, however, potatoes are very adaptable and will usually produce a respectable crop, even when the soil conditions are less than perfect.
Potatoes should be rotated on a 3-year program. This means, you need 3-suitable sites if you want to grow potatoes every year. Potatoes may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in the early spring, but you must use good judgment. Potato plants will not begin to grow until the soil temperature has reached 45 degrees F. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy. If the soil is water logged when you dig, not only will you risk "caking" the soil, your seed potatoes will probably rot before they even get started. Potatoes can tolerate a light frost, but you should provide some frost-protection for the plants when they are young. This can be a loose covering of straw, or a temporary plastic tent. (Be sure to remove or ventilate the plastic on sunny days!)If you plan to store potatoes through the winter, you can plant a second crop as late as June 15.

Yes, but it would be better to sow the seeds from inside it. Sowing potato seed is the only way of breeding/producing new varieties.
Where do you plant potato seeds in runescape?

Can potatoes produce seeds?
See answer to question, Can potato make new plant? You can plant the whole potato to make a new plant, or wait until it grows "eyes" on the outside, which are the "seeds" that form new plants. Each eye can make one new plant. Farmers use baby potatoes, or 'seed potatoes' to start new plants.
What are the little round fruits that the flowers from the potato plants grow into and are they used for anything?
Those little "fruits" on the potato plant are exactly that - they are the fruit of the plant and, like all fruits, contain the seeds to grow new plants.The potato plant is from the same family as the tomato, Solanaceae, so those little fruits are the equivalent of the etable tomato that grows on the tomato plant. The potato fruit, however, is poisonous, as are all the above-ground parts of the potato plant, so do not attempt to eat them.You can grow potato plants from the seeds but it is a bit of a waste of time since the plant grows easily from the "eyes" of the potato tuber itself, either whole or cut up, provided there is at least one eye on each piece that you plant.
Does a flowering potato plant produce seeds?
Yes , some do there are many hundreds of kinds of potatos, some produce seeds , some do not. If there is a green cherry tomato like bulb it will have about 100 seeds in it. These will grow a potato plant. But most people use the potato with it eyes cut up so that each piece has a couple of eyes on it. Plant it a few inchs deep and the plant will come up . The new potatoes will form between the seed potatoe ( the section of totatoes with the eyes that you planted ) and the plant that is above ground. When the plant begins to wilt over the potatos are ready to dig. Terry Grade
How many seeds does potato have?
No, potatoes are the root of the plant. Seeds are generally found in the flower or fruit. However if you cultivate the root of a plant it can still grow, which is why potato tubers are usually used to grow new potatoes instead of using the seeds. Nowadays it is so common to use the root to plant new potatoes that most commercial potato plants don't even produce seeds.
