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.
