Potatoes have what they call 'eyes' which grow on them, these are actual shoots for the plant, simply divide (cut) the potato with a couple of eyes on each piece, dig a hole about 7 inches below ground and plant. When the potato begins to sprout you will want to fertilize and 'hill' them up. Hilling them is simply adding a hill of dirt to the tops of them. Potatoes are tubers and as such will produce their fruit underground. In the fall you dig all around the potato to get the new potatoes.
