My grandparents would plant potatoes in a ridge of dirt. They have a little 1930's Farmall tractor that can throw up ridges. Grandpa would go back again after a couple of weeks to re-hill them, but that is mostly to make sure all the potatoes themselves stay covered in dirt. The sun turns them green if they stick out of the ground.
