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.
Cover the seeds with a couple of inches of soil. Seed pieces should be 12 to 18 inches apart. Each time the potatoes add 6 inches of growth, more soil should be mounded around the base of the plant so that by the time the plant is 18 inches tall, the mound is 4 to 5 inches high.
