Plant them 1-3” deep. Shallower in the North, and deeper in the South. Soil should be warmed at around 50 degrees before planting outdoors.

The potato should have at least two eyes. The size should be about half the size of a large egg. Larger potatoes are cut up into chunks of this size.

“Soil should be warmed at around 50 degrees before planting outdoors.”

Not planting in dirt. Planting in the containers (those 3 for $12 ones) from that container/garden supply company. I got two sets, so the two big containers will be one for the regular potato sets and the other one for the fingerling potatoes that will be sent to me at the right time.

Forget about regular dirt and me - that isn’t happening.
