Plant potatoes 4-6 inches deep in the soil. As sprouts with leaves appear, bury them with straw. Keep doing that until you have a straw layer at least 18 inches tall. Higher will produce more potatoes. Always leave the top two sets of leaves on each stem unburied so they can use sunlight for photosynthesis.
