Choose healthy seed potatoes and cut them into pieces, ensuring each piece has at least one "eye" or sprout. Allow the cut pieces to cure for a day or two in a dry, cool place to prevent rot.

Dig trenches about 6 inches deep and 12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Place the potato pieces cut-side down, about 1 foot apart, and cover them with 3-4 inches of soil.

Once the plants are about 8-10 inches tall, mound soil around the stems, leaving the top 4 inches of foliage exposed. Repeat this process as the plants grow to protect the developing potatoes from sunlight.

Ensure the potatoes receive adequate water, especially during flowering and tuber development. Keep the area free of weeds and consider applying a balanced fertilizer if your soil lacks nutrients.

Harvest your potatoes when the foliage begins to yellow and die back, typically 2-3 weeks after the plants have finished flowering. Carefully dig around the plants to avoid damaging the potatoes.
