Plant them rather shallowly at first, rose side up (cut side down) in rich soil amended with well rotted manure (no fresh). Don't add lime, or you may get a scab problem. You can side dress with a high potash fertilizer. As the sprouts come through the soil, continue to hill dirt over them, or else pile up straw to cover the plants. The higher you pile it, the more potatoes you'll have. Since we've been having this yucky weather, make sure not to let the frost damage your shoots, or they'll take much longer to grow.
