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.
Add loose soil around the base of the potato plants as they grow to keep the tubers from turning green during the growing process. Every few weeks, add more loose soil around the potato plants to ensure that the tubers stay well under the ground as they grow. By the time the potatoes are ready to harvest, you will have added as much as 6 inches of soil around the growing potato plants.
