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.
Initial Planting Depth. Seed potatoes should be planted 3 to 4 inches deep in the soil. A simple way to plant potatoes is to dig a trench 3 to 4 inches deep along the length of the garden bed and place the seed potatoes 9 to 12 inches apart in the trench. After covering the row with soil, the seed potatoes can be left alone until they germinate and sprout. Seed potatoes take eight to 16 days to sprout.
