Imagine a plate sitting on a table. Becasue it isn't moving, the plate has potential energy. It has energy overall because it has mass, is in an environment with gravity, and is above the ground. These three factors multiplied will give you your potential energy.

What increases pontenial energy?

There are different types of potential energy, so it really depends what potential energy you are talking about. Gravitational potential energy can be calculated as the product of mass, gravity, and height, so you can increase it by using a greater mass, or placing it at a greater height above the reference level (for example, above the ground level).
