Warm but not too warm. They still need water. Keep homeostasis (balance) of warmth & water for potatoes. They're best planted during April.
Potatoes are grown here in Wisconsin in the central sand plains, so sandy soil is good. I have also heard that you do not want to much organic matter or compost as that will make the potatoes scaly. I grow mine in a good loose garden soil that I have not amended for a couple of years anyway and they turn out very good.
yams, potatoes, taro. these are all that I know of. I am sure their are many more.
Groundnuts grow best in well-drained sandy loam soil that is rich in organic matter. They prefer soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Good soil structure is important to allow for proper root development and nutrient uptake by the plant.
Clay soil is generally considered the stickiest type of soil because of its fine particles and ability to hold onto water and nutrients. This soil type can become very sticky and compact when wet, making it difficult for roots to penetrate and plants to grow.
In Malaysia, the most common types of soil are sandy soil, clay soil, and peat soil. These soils vary in their composition, fertility, and water retention properties, influencing the type of vegetation that can thrive in different regions of the country.
Potatoes are a root and grow best in moist soil.

To grow potatoes from old potatoes, cut the old potatoes into pieces with at least one eye each. Plant the pieces in soil with the eyes facing up, cover with soil, and water regularly. As the plants grow, mound soil around the base to encourage more potato growth. Harvest when the plants die back.
Potatoes are typically grown from "seed potatoes," which are small potatoes saved from the previous year's crop. To grow potatoes, you plant these seed potatoes in well-drained soil, cover them with a few inches of soil, and water them regularly. As the plants grow, you can add more soil around the base of the plants to encourage more potato growth. Harvest the potatoes when the plants start to die back.
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.
To effectively grow potatoes in a cardboard box, follow these steps: Fill the box with soil and plant potato seeds or sprouted potatoes. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Place the box in a sunny spot and ensure it gets enough sunlight. As the potatoes grow, add more soil to cover the stems. Harvest the potatoes when the plants start to die back.
To grow purple potatoes successfully, plant them in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer and hill up soil around the plants as they grow. Harvest the potatoes when the plants start to die back.
To successfully grow red potatoes, plant them in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize the plants regularly and hill up soil around the base of the plants as they grow. Harvest the potatoes when the plants start to die back.
Potatoes grow in the ground from the roots of the potato plant. Potatoes are a type of tuber, a specialized type of root.
