they were just grocery store sprouty spuds. i let them go until the potato was pretty shriveled, just gave them a little water for a while, then planted them. the vines have been very strong.
i have had very iffy results from potatoes, but i think this year i will get it mostly down, as i have so many varieties, done so many ways. just when i thought i had too many, i was gifted a bunch more.
there is a video at my fb page about my spuds.
