If you want your potatoes to begin growing rapidly, you can plant your potatoes in a trench 4 inches deep. Plant your seed potatoes in the center of the trench with the eyes facing up and space them 8 to 12 inches apart before you cover the trench with dirt.
How To Plant Potatoes. Potatoes require good soil that is well-drained and, at the same time, be able to retain some moisture. A sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.0 - 8.0 is ideal. Avoid soil that is alkaline as this can promote scab, and soil that is too cool, or too moist as this can cause the seed potato to rot.
