And you said earlier that you got a late start as well; that almost surely made a difference. I think it's early Feb in your area. Even in Ft Worth, I started mid-Feb (and protected tops from frost if need be).
I'm not sure about removing multiple sprouts; never heard of anyone doing that. Did you see this suggested somewhere? But then I'm no potato guru, maybe someone will weigh in on this.

Heck, you've got me wanting to grow some potatoes now. Maybe in the fall.
