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.
