You cut a piece of the potato that contains 1-2 eyes. Usually this is done using left over storage potatoes that have begun spouting at the beginning of planting season in spring. These potatoes would have already been cured after the fall harvest and stored in a dark place with a temperature of 40degrees to prevent spoilage and sprouting till spring. The problem with potatoes bought from the supermarket is that unless it is already planting season they will rot by the time you need them.
