Choose healthy sprouted potatoes with firm flesh and short, sturdy sprouts
Cut large potatoes into pieces with at least one or two sprouts on each piece
Let cut pieces dry for 1 to 2 days until the cut surfaces callus
Prepare loose, well-drained soil in a sunny location
Mix in compost if needed
Plant pieces 3 to 4 inches deep with sprouts facing up
Space pieces 12 to 15 inches apart
Space rows 2 to 3 feet apart
Cover with soil and water lightly
Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy
Hill soil around stems as plants grow
Harvest when plants yellow and die back
Dig carefully to avoid damaging tubers
