potatoes grow better in the sun. Their leaves, and produce is definitely better when under sun light.
But if growing them in shade is the only way out, then go ahead, you'd still get something out of it. But just don't expect your produce to be as good as those plants' grown under sunlight . So, if possible grow them in the sun for best results. If not possible, grow them in the shade, and be satisfied with poor to mediocre results.
On another note, potatoes like acidic soil. And make sure the soil is never water-logged or overly moist. Water-logged soil is enough to ruin all your efforts, as this will lead to all sorts of diseases to party up within your seed potatoes. This will put all your hard work to waste, as the produce that you would get would account for almost nothing.
If possible cut and mix pine leaves into the soil 2-3 weeks before planting your seed potatoes. In addition to potatoes loving acidic soil, the diseases that attack them, find a pH level of 5.2 unsuitable. Potatoes are not too picky about the soil they're grown in, though. Seed early, if you're a beginner. Because you will definitely make mistakes, by most probably over-watering, or something else. So plant early, so that you have time to make up for you mistakes (which you will definitely make on your first attempt. Don't give up hope though).
Additionally, "Google" layering potato plants. In laymans terms, it basically means to cover the growing plantwith soil once it reaches around a foot. This way the plant is fooled into having to grow again. In essence leaving layers of new tubers, everytime you "layer the plant. You can use this process 3-4 times, depending upon how long your growing season is.
