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.
Planting Seed Potatoes. Plant seed potatoes when the soil temperature reaches 40 F. Ideally, the seed potatoes and the soil should be about the same temperature when you plant. Plant seed potatoes with their cut sides down, and space them 8 to 12 inches apart and 3 to 5 inches deep.
